NZXT H440 Razer Edition Case Starts Selling

btarunr · Nov 7, 2014

Earlier this year, NZXT launched the remarkably clean H440 chassis. With its industry leading innovation and commitment to bringing users the cleanest PC inside and out, the H440 has quickly become an NZXT favorite around the world. Now, NZXT is ecstatic to introduce a special edition H440 that is custom tailored to meet the needs of gamers around the world.

The H440 - Special Edition is equipped with all of the H440's esteemed features and then some, offering gamers the ability to create a battlestation that beautifully matches their arsenal of gaming peripherals.
Exclusive features designed by NZXT that you won't find in the traditional H440 include:

Premium matte black paint finish
Tinted window
Hexagonal mesh
Green USB 3.0 ports
Green LED underglow
Green rear I/O LED lighting
Green illuminated triple-headed snake logos

Combined with proven H440 features such as: 100% steel exterior panels and HDD trays, integrated power supply shroud, cable management freedom, four included fans and 360 mm of liquid cooling support, the H440 - Special Edition is the ultimate case for PC gamers.

The H440 - Special Edition will be available soon through NZXT's official European distributors for €149.99.

Now thats beautiful, despite the led. Hopefully there is a switch to turn off the led.

nickbaldwin86 · Nov 7, 2014

finally! but i just built a system .... i wasn't going to wait a lifetime for this and they wouldnt give any release date. so I went different direction

silapakorn · Nov 7, 2014

People will laugh at me for buying a 51 cm. tall case that can't mount a single ODD.

ODD?? what year is it!?

CoolZone · Nov 7, 2014

A Blu-ray writer should have fit nicely if a 5.25 bay would have been provided...

Optical disk drive maybe?

yeah they should put one somewhere
its nice but too bad NZXT just pushing the accent, not adding something. its like official mods

Disparia · Nov 7, 2014

No, absolutely not! Use one of the other 15 NZXT cases that do have a 5.25" bay and stop trying to push your optical agenda on the rest of us! We only have around 15 cases from all manufacturers combined that are suitable for our bay-less lifestyle.

micropage7 · Nov 7, 2014

5.25 not only for optical
you can put fan controller or temp monitor on that
but i think this case not for anyone who need that

lastcalaveras · Nov 7, 2014

I like the case, I like the color scheme but no love for razer logo.

The majority of users don't use their DVD drive for anything other than installing the OS and many people don't even have an ODD and install using a USB drive. This case is for the people who don't want an optical drive and would rather take that space in the top front and dedicate it to more airflow or larger water cooling radiators rather than having an empty 5.25" cage.

The Terrible Puddle · Nov 7, 2014

I applaud NZXT for the no optical bay thing.

Harvey_S · Nov 7, 2014

The green looks nice.

MxPhenom 216 · Nov 7, 2014

I like the underglow, but id much rather it be an NVIDIA endorsed case rather then Razer.

GhostRyder · Nov 7, 2014

Maybe its just me but compared to the normal pricing of an H440 this seems a tad bit more expensive for what basically amounts to as some LED logos. Its not that much different from a standard H440 and basically is just a bunch of LED lights added with some different colors in certain areas which do look nice but makes the price seem a bit ridiculous in the end. But I guess its not for me...

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Nov 8, 2014

That is a beautiful case. If i didnt just get the NZXT Phantom with green trim last year, id be all over this.

Easy Rhino · Nov 9, 2014

When will they start making PC cases for grown ups?

They have to build their own.

I think they make a good many nice cases. I've never seen the view of "they don't make clean cases" Just from NZXT alone you get a few nice aesthetics.

Some would even fit in at an office.

true - but the majority of users also only have one mid range video card and hard drive/ssd, in that case why would you need such a gigantic case?

All the games out are console ports anyways and anyone who bought a 670 two years ago is still maxing out at 1080P on proc tech thats 2 years old and will still be fine when broadwell comes out since they are focusing on perf/watt.

Basically the age of water-cooled massive power rigs just so you can run oblivion at 60 fps have come to an end, so with the exception of a few users with SLI/cfx/surround setups this case is a total waste of money,

If they release a micro or mini itx one it might be good though - but for that size and price they might as well include a floppy just in case.

Why not just keep a USB external optical drive at hand like me when you actually just use it twice a year?

xVeinx · Nov 9, 2014

Having an ODD around is important for when you need it, but that's getting less and less frequent IMO. Just redid a build with a different color scheme of the 440 and find it to be a fantastic case. Cable management, airflow, build quality are all nice, and it looks great. The SSD trays stand out a bit if you don't have them both in use (guess I need another SSD!

), but otherwise I find it to be wonderfully minimalist and functional.

tastegw · Nov 9, 2014

no odd on my custom case, though installing the OS was more of a bother than usual
