NZXT H440 Custom Colour Swap

Here's a quick idea of what the case would look like with my hardware installed. I would also work on modding the stock exterior power led colors to either blue or white.

I like the logo on the front. I don't, however, like the blue parts. It ruins the stealth look of the case. Maybe change the blue parts to a dark grey?
 
Here it is with a dark grey. Of course on the actual case it may be darker but with the lighting I couldn't go much darker since parts of it would disappear in the shadows. Of course the front logo would be the same color grey but for some reason I just can't get it to change colors.

I'm not entirely sold on the font, but I couldn't find the one I really wanted because I don't know what it is called.
 
I would love this case. I have a MSI Gaming 7 mobo that I custom dipped all the red on so its a white and black build along with custom painted 980's that have more of a black matte look. This case would be an amazing match with that instead of my Switch 810 that i have now. I wanted to buy the razer edition but i think the razer markings are a bit intrusive.

Either way, I have an idea for my next build.
 
Great swap

The Red and white looks great, personally it would not fit as my colour scheme, the black would be my selection to replace my Z11+ which I had to take a hacksaw to in order to fit my 295x2 lol
 
has anyone said it was cancelled no i dont think so and tom is just waiting for that special person who stands out among all the people to give HIS special case away to dude
 
Oh well I guess this thread is dead. Giveway cancelled?

Not dead at all matey, Ive been incredibly busy though and as this is just a bit of fun we will just role with it and see what happens. Theres no dates or timelines though but in all honesty people like you make me wonder why I should give something away thats mine....

Well I guess you must like me very much. You pick up on every little thing I write, nor am I allowed to have a different opinion than yours, nor am I allowed to reply when I consider that someone indirectly said that all of our "applications"were made out of nonsense reasons (earlier Wraithguard discussions). There was no deadline presented so I asked if the giveaway was cancelled because it's been weeks since no one else posted or shown interest in this giveaway. You've pointed out at least 3 times already that the case is YOURS, I got that from the first time, you said it in your video, you are doing the giveaway, not NZXT.

As I said before my comments were not meant to be taken as derogatory, I'm not the one giving a case away, my post was just meant as a friendly wink wink nudge nudge to anyone thinking of applying for this case, and a hint as to what Tom requires from participants. It's all in the detail, there has been numerous good ideas so far for this case but they nearly all pretty much focus on external decoration, again details.

C'mon man just let it go. No sense dragging this out like a child. This is after all HIS forum, HIS thread, and HIS case. He will chose a winner if and when he decides he wants to. Yea, sure we all are wondering who will win, but isn't that the fun of a giveaway like this. If you submitted a job application, would you call the company after a few weeks of hearing nothing and talk to them that way? I can guarantee you wouldn't have that job if you did. So at this point all you are doing is making a fool of yourself, you're certainly not helping your case as far as why you should win This case.

Seriously, where did I ever say anything contradictory to that?

In which way? How was I ever offensive to anyone? All this started ever since I DARED to say what I thought about Wraithguards post, in a respectful manner, I got put in a corner and absolutely everyone has been jumping on me except him, the person who I was addressing in the first place?! It's similar to a pack of wolves hunting, if the alpha male jumped and took a bite, lets all do that.

I just replied to he's "people like you" which to me sounds like being categorized, but I guess I should just shut up, have no self-esteem, no freedom of speech, because I'm making myself look like a fool. As I've said in a post earlier, I am aware that I lost the chance on getting this giveaway, I was just wondering what happened to it. I said that the thread looks dead and asked if the giveaway was cancelled, look how much drama it brought.

I respect and value Tom's work, he is great in what he does. For the millionth time, I am aware that this is he's forum, he's post and he's giveaway but I also strongly agree that respect should come equally when addressing one to another regardless of being a simple forum user or the guy running the whole business. We are all human and equal in front of GOD, before being anything else.

The only people I worship are my GF and my sister.... But lets not get me started on religion.

Put simply youve tarnished what I was trying to accomplish here fella so Ive made the choice to take you out of the running sorry.

Im sure youll see a forum member rocking this before long if you hang around.

Look mate, it's not always what you've said, but the manner in which you've said it and unfortunately text is left up for interpretation. Most unfortunate for you is everyone seemed to feel as though the remarks were a bit snarky.

I am truly sorry you have lost your chance to win such a prize. I want to wish you all the best in your future OC3D endeavors.
 
My old PC recently broke down and I was was going to be getting a new PC with a h440 already.

I had planned to get the red and black one and reprint the red parts to black already, and this case is perfect.

Hoping to get an i7 4790k cooled with a h100i gtx alongside a gtx 980 Ti all on a maximus VII hero board, should look awesome put together no matter the case really.

Might try to take some pictures of putting it together and do a little build log write up as well, providing I'm lucky enough of course.

Fingers crossed!
 
Proper submission

Apologies to the Tiny Tom and the OC3D team for the late reply, like I said, not a big forum guy.

Anyway, here's my idea partially come to life with a bit of shoddy photo shopping.
As with my initial idea, water cooled system, changed my mind to try hard pipes instead of tubes because I like the aesthetic better. Other than than that: Red LED's under the chassis and under the motherboard to give a glow effect.

Other than that nothing special or out of the ordinary, I'm a very "Keep it simple stupid." kinda guy but I hope you like it none the less.

Just a little update on my H440. Im designing a simple PWM Fan Controller that i will be installing under were the reset button is on the H440. its a simple push button with 3 modes silent,optimal and performance. The video does not do it justice as im recording using my mobile. Im still in the testing stage but im now starting to design the PCB Board and when finished will be the size of a 50p coin. Hopefully have a finished item in the next month or two.

That loop concept looks properly good mate, it tickles my fancy to go watercooling again, but i wont :D
