What do you think about the Nzt h440 ?

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. 

Gee you've got some balls. I will never stack HDDs like that. SSDs, I wouldn't mind because I can tape them somewhere.

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.

Why does it have bad airflow if i put my hand in the case in definitely feel air moving even wen the casedoor is removed.

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

Indeed if you buy some decent fans airflow is pretty good

I've changed every stock fan there was in this case with NF Noctua's and added an extra 2 Noctua's at the top of the case, except for the rear one(corsair AF140) so I've done my part on trying to improve the airflow in it. (Mostly because those stock fans were far too loud for my taste.)

 

Ofcourse the air is moving inside the case, but far too little. What I mean by bad airflow is that the internal parts are being choked for more air(the air isn't moving well enough in and out of the case), which results in quite a fair bit of higher temperatures for the CPU and GPU than other cases. 

 

I own the H440 for a little over 3 years and have been playing with other cases during that time, when comparing those temperature differences and at which rpm I need to have the fans run, it's to cry for. But personally it doesn't annoy me enough to not love this case, but that doesn't mean I won't acknowledge that this case does suffer from bad airflow.
