Bringing the bling When NZXT partnered with Razer to build a special version of the H440, one of the standout characteristics was that it had a green underglow. Turns out you’re going to see more of that, at least from NZXT, which added an underglow to its newly announced Noctis 450 mid-tower case. This is…

Yeah, we’re not too keen on the name either, don’t worry. There’s no release date for this one yet, but it’ll be making an appearance at this…
