Im debating about the corsair 540 air define r4 with window or h440, everyone in white, do anyone have any prior experience with them or such?

main question would be do you need / want to have an optical drive, as the h440 does not have a drive bay for one?

I like both the define r4 and the h440 personally, not much experience with the air 540 honestly...

I also ran an internal drive while i installed the os and drivers, then removed it.. saved from making a usb drive for windows.

With owning a white phantom, and a red/black h440 .. i'd lean towards the the 540, not a huge fan of the plastic/metal white matching nzxt has done in the past, and i like the balance of white/black on the 540 most of all... and every corsair case i've built in (about 4) has been amazingly easy. Not knocking it, becuase it's a great case, but the r4 just kinda seems to be 'the norm' in looks.

Have you looked at the phanteks enthoo pro / luxe?

I've also had an issue with the feet of the h440 popping off with the screw pulling through the case sheet metal when slid across a desk.
