Moved to NZXT S340

Hardware Hub Cases / Chassis

Figured I would post. But I moved my desktop computer from a Corsair 200r to a NZXT S340.
Really hate having dead space in a case and have not used a CD rom drive since 2008.
Building in it was not bad as you can hide un used cables under that PS cover. (really cool)

Its really clean looking now IMO. I do have a couple complaints. The two included fans are crap, but I guess expected with a 65(subject to change) price tag. The other issue i had is that the motherboards USB 3.0 port is located right between the two 2.5 ssd sleds. Making it a tight fit.
I know that more of my mother board issue, but i fill the trays could come forward a bit.

When all is said and done, I feel like I need better hardware to put in it now. "The Cycle"


Also need to find something to support the GPU. Its sagging.

I'm moved my system to a white S340 a few weeks ago. I'm enjoying it very much but ... it's pushing me to get better hardware like you said. This case really shows off how cumbersome the usb 3 connector is. I'm trying to pick out a motherboard with a right angle usb 3 port on the right side, I've found a few on the X99 and newer usb3.1 Z97 mobos have one.
I wasn't planning on it when I got it but it'll definitely fit a custom water cooled loop with some planning, well I guess that applies to any case.
Still great case for the cost and the video by Wendell really showed what I was getting into.
Sorry no pics
