And even in case we needed any, they’re still included. Great! Even in configurations with many cables, we don’t need an infinite number of cable ties. After removing the side plate, the cable duct and the corresponding terminals are immediately noticeable. In the interior, all parts are neatly fastened with rivets – there is no squeaking or rattling.īefore we take care of the installation, let’s take a look at the possibilities for cable management. You can search for features that reduce the quality of the housing for a long time. The predecessor had exactly the same opening and it’s the successor, but you have to like it anyway. Why is there a large slot at the top of the front cover after the I/O panels? At first I thought that the case had to be placed the other way around – wrong thought. If I look at the front panel, I can’t quite understand one thing. This allows the window to be cleaned quickly. Fortunately, the washer can be easily removed by loosening a few screws and even by hand. YES! A first touched disc captures fingerprints and dust almost intentionally. Glass? You can see every fingerprint on it. It’s the same! Even without much bling bling and with a relatively good cable management one would rather put the case on rather than under the table. Hardened glass with a little tint – sounds at first glance like a dream of Casemodder and users who like tidy cabinets and outstanding cable management. The S340 Elite convinces with its huge glass pane. The matt black case doesn’t set many accents, apparently NZXT doesn’t want that either. The housing is available in the colours matt white, matt black, matt black with blue or red accents.

Or, any one of these 23 cases (opens in new tab), spanning all sorts of shapes and sizes, might tickle your fancy. If you're looking for a case for your new rig, there's a lot to like about the NZXT S340 Elite, and £75 is a decent price (opens in new tab). Alternatively, there's plenty of space for liquid cooling too, with the case supporting two 140mm or 120mm radiators at the front, or a 120mm radiator at the back. As for cooling, there are 120mm fans at the top and rear, and you can add a couple more fans at the front, either 120mm or 140mm. Elsewhere, there's room for three 3.5-inch drives.
You can mount a couple of 2.5-inch SSDs on top of the PSU shroud, and the Elite adds an extra mounting option in front of it. Inside the case you'll find extra cable management thanks to interior clamps and cutouts, and there's a steel bar which splits the front intake from the rest of the case. You can also split the puck apart for longer cable coverage. This doubles as a cable management device, and a handy place to hang your headphones or a VR headset. The most unique addition is that of a magnetic puck (which can be removed if you don't like the look of it stuck to the side of your PC). You'll also get a couple of extra USB 2.0 ports on the front panel in addition to the existing pair of USB 3.0 ports and audio / microphone ports. Some of the new features the Elite brings over the older S340 include a larger tempered glass side panel, if you enjoy looking at the innards of your PC.
