What do you think? Worth upgrading for $119?

Bloody pretty case, and love the 3*140mm fans at the front.

Lots of air going though that case and large fans mean less noise.

Also really good for watercooling.

One of the best cases I have seen in a long time.
 
I really do not like the look of the hardrive cage being solid like that would have been a more or less perfect case if they would have made it removable and made a bit more wiring room side panel.
 
I plan on getting the black and red version. I like my 750D, but I want a quieter case.

With the side panel on, this is not an issue. But I don't like how everyone's gone to these squished windows to hide that area. Go balls out and make them removable, get rid of them all together or tidy them up so they are viewable... Want full size windows and innovative places to put SSDs. Can do a case without so much depth and then the airflow is right next to the components that need it instead of having to move through a buncha empty space that is hidden from view by using a window panel that simply doesn't extend to the front half of the case. Alternately leave the empty space (drive cages) for a good size water setup, but make the window the whole size of the panel so people can see it.
 
well if one were to have the hard drive cages on the backside of motherboard tray so kind of like a air540 but with more defined appeal like this 440, then no cage in way to spoil clean looks/lines can have maybe ssd go flat on back where the standard hdd go on top of each other in 3 separate dual racks which are removable and can go into main portion of case also on the "backside" but towards bottom so looking inside front it would look like motherboard is recessed but this would give a nice compartment for harddrive area and could actually help airflow in main body as well.

I love the big windows myself really show off the nice looks, but it gets scratched way to easy, and glass which rarely gets scratched is brutal heavy.

That is my only 2 negs on this case far as I can see, not the greatest amount of wiring room, and the drive cage portion(tunnel) wouldn't be nearly as bad if it were "solid" as in you don't see holes in it kind of spoils the very nice clean looks. Going with what you are saying for cleaning it up, why not have one of the fans as a tunnel type thing so it vents majority of its air beside said drives instead of through and wasting its potential.

I agree though far to many cases are oversized and filled with holes/mesh/fan spots instead of really focusing the air directly to what needs it most, there was one from aerocool I believe it was that had a specific airduct just for the gpu which would work excellent if it didn't look crappy and was not as constricted as it was. They should have a case that has a duct from front to right near cpu so it gets all the air it needs directly, incorporate it into the front IO or something.

Another case to think of if you want the silent approach Nanoxia DS6, very nice well thought out design, still this one is a very nice look, I just am not fond of that HD cage it looks like at some point it would be cumbersome, but yeh black and red for me as well :O
 
I have had the larger (similar in appearance) H630 since my birthday (Aug 13) it is a stunning looking case, well built, easy to work in and my H630 at least is very quite

(i am using just the included case fans, and then a Hyper212+ with Push /Pull Gelid Silent 12 PWM fans) and I have a Sapphire HD7950)

If the H440 is built like the H630 it should be a nice choice for someone wanting something a bit different I think.
