Just wondered if anyone in the UK has bought a H440 replacement acrylic CNC panel from mnpctech by any chance as I am trying to try to get an idea of what customs etc are going to slap on the import duty?
 
I just contacted a local glass company and got them to cut me a piece of 4mm toughened glass to size. Cut the original tabs off and use some extra strong adhesive to fit it. Really pleased and cost me a total of £14.50!

I have a black H440, loved the case but was annoyed with the smoked side window and not being able to see inside the case.

I contacted NZXT support and asked for a clear window, they organised a black side panel with clear window for $20 which arrived and fitted and now happy with.

I would contact them if its a clear window you are looking for?
 
Thanks for replies. Yea, I already have the clear acrylic on that came with the white H440 2015 edition, the issue I am having is that NZXT use a low grade acrylic (sorry NZXT but it is!) in these cases and it scratches VERY easily.
It was scratched right out of the box and I did contact NZXT who very kindly shipped me replacement side panels all the way for free however the new one is scratched now and I have only ever used new high quality microfibre cloths to clean it so am a bit gutted really. When you consider this case costs in excess of £100 it is pathetic workmanship. I will likely have to get the replacement ones from mnpctech as theirs seem to be a high quality panel compared to the original.
My only other option is to go for the Mountain Mods case which I originally wanted but was trying to save money by opting for the H440 white.

It's a pity because there is a lot I love about this case and the rear LED over the socket bay is a nice touch.
Like everything though it is made to a price.
It's strange but I paid roughly the same money years ago for my old Thermaltake Mozart TX and that lasted 10 years!
 
Don't get me wrong, there are a LOT of good points for this case that outweigh the bad really but the big let down is deffo the window quality.
It has zero scratch resistance so I would advise getting it replaced with higher grade material really. ;)
 
For the interested / morbidly curious you can now get these high grade clear replacement panels for the H440 from within the UK.
These are the same ones from mnpctech - just means you don't get a nasty HMRC bill on top. ;)
