You might think, upon initial inspection, that the NZXT H440 Mid Tower computer case is just another well-crafted and attractive case from NZXT; and you’d be right, in the sense that it’s both attractive and well-crafted. But the H440 hides several innovations under its painted steel skin, one of which will be controversial.
Some of my first reviews for this site were of NZXT cases, and I was always impressed at the features and quality that NZXT could bring to a case retailing for a mere $49.95. Simple ideas like slots for the rear exhaust fan screws that let you position the fan precisely behind your CPU cooler cost virtually nothing to include but added real functionality. The H440 follows in this tradition.
