H440 yin & yang upgrade!!

[steverebo]

Ok my custom NZXT H440 black and white build has gone through some changes since i last posted so I thought I would share them to see what you guys think.

Change log:

I have replaced the front EK XT 360 push pull setup to a single alphacool UT60 in pull.

I have swapped the top magicool G2 slim 280 radiator with a black ice stealth 280.

I have added a red harbinger res sleeve and sprayed it gloss white to break up the blackness of the res and fluid.

Ive swapped out all my fans and replaced them with corsair ML Pro white led's.

Ive added white led lighting to the front top and inder the case.

Ive replaced the acrylic window with a 10mm thick ultra clear plexi.

Ive added a creative sound blastervZ and sprayed it black and removed that god awful red led.

Speechless!

As a white h440 owner, this is just perfection.

I love everything except the brightness of your lower light. That would distract me too much. Or maybe its your camera that caused it to bleed like it has.

that being said, I love your desk layout. Very nice and clean!

edit* Can you still buy red harbinger res tube covers?

Thanks guys

Its the camera i tried to stop it bleeding so much and capture the real effect and this was the best i could do unfortunately.

Yep you can still buy them I found mine on ebay £20 delivered it came in stainless steel so it was easy enough to paint. I love how it breaks up the blackness of the res

That looks really really nice. Great job

Nice and clean setup you got there!

How are you finding those ML fans?

Only thing that bothers me with custom large side panel windows on the H440, is that the PSU shroud isn't covering the entire basement and therefore it looks weird and ugly in my opinion, when it's like cut off in the middle.

 

[steverebo]

The ML's are pretty good and have great pwm range and airflow so most of the time my system is inaudible.

I know what you mean about the shroud but the large window was a must to show off the whole system and the res, I considered running some ali all the way along but i thought it would look even stranger with it cutting off the rad and fan.

Im planning on getting rid of the mechanical drive and running my pump to the floor and capping off the end of the shroud to try and make it look a little better.

Pretty good? So not great then ey? ... From the latter description of them, they don't seem pretty good, but pretty great. If your system is mostly inaudible.

Okay, not entirely sure what you mean regarding capping it off etc... Bur cool none the less!

I do however really like the 3 vertical stripes on the front panel

Okay they are awsome fans and look the muts nuts, when i cranked them to full speed I though my rig was going to take off they push an incredible amount of air.

Initially i planned for just the lettering but it looked far too plain so i did lots of scribbes of different patterns and ended up choosing this one and im glad i did

I ended up going back to pretty much the same monitor but Dells version after I couldn't live without 144Hz and G-Sync ^_^

I know what you mean I dont think I could ever go back to a non gsync high Hz monitor there is just no comparrison

 

[Bartacus]

Tardy to the party, but that is one beautiful build man. Great job!!!

God damnit steve, by looking at your pictures I can't decide wether to go ML Pro 140 blue leds or just plain black fans.... Damn it! :mellow:
