Taking a look at the front of the case, we have a solid panel. This panel is removable but does not act as a door in any way – therefore alluding to the omission of any 5.25” drive bays.

Around the back at the bottom there is an opening for mounting the PSU and then above this we have seven PCI expansion slot covers – each with ventilation cut-outs to increase the airflow inside the chassis. Immediately next to these covers there are two circular rubber grommets. Lastly, at the top we have a 140mm rear exhaust cooling fan (there is also support for 120mm). Directly above the area allocated for the rear IO ports of the motherboard there is a switch which controls the LEDs for the back panel of the motherboard and PCI slots.


After giving the front panel a firm pull, this fascia detaches from the chassis. On the reverse side there is a thick layer of noise damping material and sitting over the front cooling fans there is a large dust filter which can be removed and cleaned.

After removing the dust filter we can clearly see three 120mm cooling fans located at the front. These fans are FN V2s and are configured as intakes.


Up at the very top of H440 there are an assortment of ports and buttons. On the left-side there is a large power button and smaller reset button, while over on the right-side there are two USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports with headphone and microphone jacks completing the lineup.


Beyond these ports there is a solid panel at the top of H440 with no distinctive features (although there is allocation inside for installing cooling fans and radiators.


Flipping the case over onto its side we can observe the underside of the chassis. There are four plastic feet which give this case clearance from the floor – each of the feet utilise rubber to prevent the case from slipping on smooth surfaces. Directly underneath the PSU area there is a detachable dust filter which can be removed while the case is stood up.
