Review: NZXT H440 New Edition

Conclusion

With a tweak here and an adjustment there, NZXT has refreshed a well-received chassis and, amid increasing competition, returned the spotlight to the H440.

Now branded as a New Edition, the 2015 revision of one of NZXT's most popular enclosures features a handful of alterations that may pique your interest. The addition of a PWM fan hub is a real value-add, the ability to house more storage devices could be useful to some, and of course there's a new matte-black finish that makes this particular mid-tower sleeker than ever before.

The H440 NE is inevitably a fine chassis, and one that's certainly worthy of consideration for a high-performance build, however the relatively minor upgrades do leave us wanting more. Rival chassis have shown that similar feature sets can be made available in a smaller profile, and though this is the best H440 to date, it feels like the end of a journey rather than a beginning.

NZXT has established itself as a chassis manufacturer to watch, yet while we appreciate the H440 New Edition, we're more intrigued by the prospect of a true successor.
