I'm a fan of some of their cases. Looking forward to seeing what this one brings:

http://www.nzxt.com/teaser/


NZXT is leaving clues on the company web home page regarding the launch of a mystery case. The slideshow of images features case features found on past and current NZXT case products such as perforated plates, mesh grilles, and what appear to be a pair of 200 mm fans. Even we aren’t certain if this is a new entry to an existing product line such as the popular Phantom Series or an entirely new concept. If you have a tip, feel free to share it! NZXT doesn’t have any other clues lying around and isn’t saying much, simply stating “Something big is coming…” on its Facebook page. The teaser site countdown will end the Tuesday morning of January 14 at around 7 AM PST.

At the middle there is a pic of what is a clearly MicroATX or Mini-ATX case. Boring.

I wanted a new version of the Switch.
 
A new Switch would be boring. Who really needs cases that huge any more? Mini ITX is very much in fashion, as is the Steam Box, so product releases are all over that right now.

Your new Switch will come I'm sure.
 
I'm worried about the airflow though; the sides seem pretty solid. Where do your intakes actually get air, and where does the air come out from?

Not to mention Dust..
 
It does look quite solid. From the pictures there are vents where the windowed side and top panels meet, and where the non-windowed side and front panels meet. Not much; a mesh front or top panel would be nice to have as an option. It's very pretty, though :D

EDIT: TTL has a review of it:



All in all NZXT have come a long way recently and all of us here think the H440 is one of if not the best enthusiast case they have produced yet. With so many enthusiast based design touches plus awesome water cooling support in such a small and well priced package is amazing an undoubtedly worthy of the OC3D Gold award. 18 months ago we produced the OC3D White Gold award but as yet had not found a product that we felt deserved our highest accolade. The Corsair 540 came pretty close but we are happy to announce that the H440 clinched it. A mixture of the price, water cooling support and finally the brave choice to have no optical bay support is what swung it. So congratulations NZXT for being the first manufacturer to ever be awarded the TTL White Gold award!

Looks pretty swish. I like NZXT and was this close to buying a 630 Phantom but then Corsair said "750D mate" and I was like "Ok". If this case was out at the time I still would have gone with the 630 or 750D.
 
Hmm, price and no optical drives = good. Would like other cases to do away with them.

Other than that, it's OK I guess :)

I'll be in the market for a new case soon, but I'll still be going for a Corsair 760T, it is slightly smaller though (5cm shorter and 9cm shallower), but no more rad space in this even without optical drive space vs the 760T (thick 360mm + thin 360mm vs thick 280mm + thick 360mm).
 
Looks nice, but those front fans are a bit wasted as the front panel totally starves them of any intake.
 
TTL seems to like it :)

must be good then!

although im not sure about the roof, no traditional rad vents but around the sides of the top panel,

will have to wait for tests..

Is there sound dampening material in this case? It's from the 'Hush' series of cases and curious whether it is going to be quiet with 6 fans installed.

Yeah there is sound dampening material in the case on each panel and the roof and door. There's only a strip probably about 2 to 3 inches wide on the side with the window though.
