Guys I'm thinking of getting a new case and these two are my choices. I saw a review on the enthoo and it looked a bit bigger than the H440 which one do you guys think would be better?

I personally prefer the NZXT H440 over the Enthoo Pro. I like a nice clear window and the Enthoo Pro's window does not look very well made. I know it's picky, but I have to be -- they're both good cases.

The enthoo pro would be my choice. Growing more and more popular, it's becoming the go to case for lots. With an eye catching $99 price tag it offers more features than some top brand cases.

Both mid-tower cases, each has ample amount of spots for radiator mounting and plenty of cable management holes for cable routing.

Both cases house a beautiful windowed side panel accenting the power supply shroud on both units. NZXT has an accented logo on the PSU shroud as well as a lit motherboard IO panel cutout.

The H440 though does have the disadvantage in airflow, restricted by the slots located on the top and front bezels.
These allow minimal air to pass through causing your components to reach higher temps than other case solutions.

If you have a need for optical drive - enthoo, if not h440, if you want full loop watercool - enthoo, if not h440, if you want some sort if color scheme - h440, if not then enthoo. It's not just a choice between 2 good cases, its more what actually fits your wants/needs.

I just got an H440 and love it, but there are a few drawbacks:

1. No 5.25" drive bays - it's not just for optical drives, but if you plan to run any flash card readers, fan controllers, hot swap HDs, or anything else that requires that kind of drive bay, you are SOL.

2. Cooling - there's no front ventilation and the front cover and top cover are very difficult to remove for liquid cooling installation.

3. The size - it's perfectly fine if you're going to run standard size graphics cards, but for large graphics cards like the Sapphire Tri-X or GTX 780TI, you at least have to remove one of the drive cages in order to use.

These things aren't super big deals but if these don't bother you then go for the H440. You can see what my build with the H440 looks like here:

Thanks for the replies guys I actually wanted to get the H440 at first but I do have a dream of watercooling so right now edging towards the Enthoo :D

I had the same problem 2 months ago, and i now lean towards the Enthoo Pro.
I feel like nzxt was pre-mature when they decided no 5.25" bay. I like a bay res, i like fan controllers, card reader, everything except optical drives.
Enthoo pro on the other hand has kinda the same problem for me, not enough clearance for the top bay and a 420mm rad, so i have to sacrifice at least one bay, if not them all.
From a normal person with no watercooling(i only plan on doing watercooling when i'm settled down somewhere. Currently move alot), this case would also be great. The airflow is great, and IMO the asthetics(spelling) is too. Every single color in the world would match this, green, red, blue, pink, orange, you name a color!
What holds me back, is the Enthoo Luxe. Aparently you can mount its fans outside of the case between the cover and the case. Big plus for watercooling.
Also, i kinda wish they already had a white version. Every thing that is black, feels like it gets miscoloured if you dont clean it 24/7. The dust makes it all gray, even tho it has dustfilters.

My opinion - Enthoo pro, but a case is a personal preference. I bet you the corsair 200r would suit me and other people just fine(not really recommending it, just an example)
