NZXT H440 Mid-Tower Case Review @ Legit Reviews

The H440 was one of the highlight cases of CES and is one of the first to feature an integrated PSU cover plate and no external 5.25" drive bays.  Yes that’s right no external drive bays.

NZXT really wanted to make a bold statement with their upcoming mid-tower H440 chassis.  Outside of the minimalistic design, they minimized – or should I say eliminated – something that many of us have come accustom to:  5.25” drive bays.  This means no more optical drives in NZXT’s eyes with this one!  Can you imagine a desktop PC without an optical drive?  I’m sure there are plenty of people out there that cannot, but I most certainly can. Read on to learn more about this new chassis!

Sadly, this case will end up getting a ton of press because NZXT was brave enough to release a case without external drive bays.  Maybe that is where PC Building is headed but given that EVERY case since the beginning of time has come with external drive bays you can't ignore that case modders rely on those bays to store custom fan controllers and even reservoirs for their watercooling systems. 

Personally I think it is too soon for companies to start removing the external drive bays but it will take a product generation for the public to decide if this is what they want.
