Case Straw Poll

[Thue500]

Hi i am planning too change my case with a new one but can't decide if i should buy the Nzxt H440 or the Fractal Design Define R5.

The things i wan't out off the case is to put a 240/280mm radiator in the front and a small pump to watercool my gpu. The case also needs to be silent so i would hope if anyone has one of the case and can tell the pros and cons to it and why i should take that one and not the other case.

Ohh yeah the R5 cost 132$ and the H440 cost 175 where i live.

I have the S340 and it's cheap and wonderful. If it is anything to go by NZXT make incredible cases

 

Edit: however I have heard wonderful things about the R5 so it is a good choice too

Define R5 is going to probably be the end result of this. It easily beats the h440 in a lot of cooling aspects and airflow. Only reason I would get a h440 is for aesthetics.

Have seen some people using it but couldn't find where it was.

If you're water cooling dont go H440, It's a royal pain in the backside, trust me!

Since the R5 is that much cheaper, it's an easy pick IMO.

I love my R5 for my latest build.  Its a glorious case.  Easy as can be to build in.

As @KE2012 said, when it comes to cable management, H440 is a nightmare. I used to own one, now I am using corsair 780T. The H440 is a silence case, the back panel is somewhat a headache. 780T is a good looking case, but the build quality as well as the material they use is not that great compared to NZXT's cases.I have never owned a R5 before, so could not give you any opinions about it.

NZXT does make some awesome cases.
