NZT is one hell of a drug...

 

NZXT case is solid, cable management piss easy, you can pretty much do no wrong

I love my H440. I fit an entire watercooling loop in it and cable management was still insanely easy

not keen at all, supposedly has bad airflow, however i love my define s, its so beautiful.

If aesthetics with silence are a major factor for you the H440 is great. The case has poor airflow however and some awkward stuff going on at the front when it comes to HDD cages. I recommend the Enthoo Pro instead (if you don't need sound padding) or the Define S

airflow on the h440 is terrible apparently.

good choice on the define s

[KE2012]

I'm torn on it. The case it's self is well built and is quality, but it's cable management is.... poor, and airflow is terrible. If you are going to watercool at all in the case I would tell you to get something else.

this case has so much room, even when i had two 970s and a massive air cooler it felt half empty. i want to get some green led fans for my case to go with my cooler,mobo and gpu but they dont do green af140s, rip.

[Hero7750]

It looks like a more expensive s340 so personally i dont like it

yeahh mine looks so empty haha, i need to get myself a watercooler

[MentalBlank]

I have this chassi and it get really hot, i had to watercool everything. And most important, the window is shit and scratch so easily and gather dust/hair what ever you want to call it. I had a 980ti G1 in this chassi for around 3 days until i returned the card and realize the window turned into rainbow LOL. Also it had to buy adapter in order to mount the SSD in the front because my PSU sata cable connector was L and not flat. Now i have to wait for EVGA Hybrid or Waterforce. Other wise this chassi is sexy as fuck and i have no regret buying it. But the window is really cheap i wonder if i can find a replacement.

Even though I personally prefer my Corsair 900D over anything else, the NZXT H440 is an excellent case IMO. Cable management is easy enough 'cause I am anal about it, and it's easy to work with for a midtower. Last time I worked with one was the Corsair SPEC-02, which I loathe because it's the opposite of the H440 case.

 

I would criticize the stock fans; they're terrible. I would go and get better fans (like some Noctua or Noiseblocker fans) and ditch the stock fans. I would say airflow is good enough, if they used better fans instead.

Or modify it, like what Singularity Computers did

[Nomy]

Pro:

- beautiful case, very clean looking

- easy to build in and stuff away your cables.

 

Con:

- pretty bad airflow, choked front and top

- the side window is the worst, very easily scratched and a true dust magnet

 

All and all, I'm happy with it.

Well yes, but not everyone has the capability to mod the case to a high enough standard that they should

I mean it's easy enough if you have a power drill and the right-sized drill bits to pop out the rivets holding the HDD bracket.

Yeah that is true, but should not be required in the first place.

Considering both you and I own this case.... The internet is more than right in this case.

This case is the definition of bad airflow.

So no reason for you to behave like this towards TheHappyJarhead.

Correct assuming you don't plan on mounting your HDDs onto the bracket with a reservoir mounted onto the radiator.

 

You can mount a HDD onto the floor of the H440 rather easily. Just don't get more than one HDD if you plan on installing a custom loop in one.

dunno... there's plenty of air pumping though, my Furies are quite happy

Well, I managed to get 2 hdd's in, it just means my pump rests on top of one and the other holds it in place, not the best solution but hey ho, it works.
