Lets face it the Nzxt 4400 is a danm good case but the front in take for the X3 120 mm is pretty bad... Does anyone know were you could by a front panel that's modded that has better air flow?

if you wanna pay the extra $20 the noctis 450 has better airflow if you havnt got the case yet, Or you could Kindda take how they have the air flow of the noctis 450 and make a flat version of it for the H440

Uh I don't think you can simply buy modded cases. You would need to A: DIY or B: Contact a well known modder, send him your case and cash, and ask him to do it.

If you already have the case the 2 easiest options to mod the panel for airflow are 1. cut 3 120mm holes into the panel with a holesaw. 2. cut a large portion of the panel in the middle to expose the fans. If you have the tools and know how you can do it yourself if your not comfortable doing it yourself take it to either a CNC or laser cutting place and have it done professionally.

Ya but then it looks bad

Looks better than cutting a big ass hole in it. And you can always put it back on when you are done.
