Many enthusiasts are starting to gravitate towards clean looking cases. And companies like NZXT are willing to deliver them. While this trend has gone so far as removing even optical drive bays, end users still occasionally need DVD/physical media to build systems or install games. However, the majority of physical media has shifted away towards downloadable content. Even the best system integrators are now offering systems that don't include optical drives. For workstations, it means one less security hole in an important system.

The NZXT H440 enclosure we are reviewing today, sports a clean design that pleases the eyes but follows the digital trend. You won't find any ROM dive slots or other clutter. The facade is smooth, artistic and even logical. Let me show you what the face of clean looks like.
