[death_razer]

hii....i'm planning to change my case..probably nzxt S340...was wondering how will be the airflow, heat and the noise level inside this case....thanks

Depends on the hardware, quiet fans make a quiet case not the other way around.

 

Airflow is decent, better than the H440.

i really wanted the H440....but the airflow is very restricted.....

what do u about the windowed side panel....is too bad for minor scratches?

Airflow is actually really good in the S340, since the fans are a lot less restricted compared to the H440.

 

The windowed side panel isn't that easily scratchable. If you don't abuse your cases it will be perfectly fine. You'll worry more about the piano black finish, so I'd get the white one

Actually the side panel window scratches without hesitation with from what I've heard from HardwareCanucks. Dimitri ran his dull nail over the window and it scratched very easily.

I'd store the side panel on carpet or something the like so it doesn't get all scratched up. If a dull nail can scratch that panel, I don't doubt that a floor or maybe slightly misplaced GPU couldn't.

I have this case, but havent built in it yet.. but from looking at it, the airflow should be good thanks to the large caps in front on the top and bottom to pull air in easily.

Noise will be dependent on the fans you have because their is no sound proofing in the case

which is same for the heat..

 

It is a very solid, well made case. Great to let you inner artist go to town on.

 

Only real complaint I can say is the the worst filter ever made is over the PSU intake..but think that can be easily replaced which I might do myself..

 

The window yeah doesnt seem the be the best but I already planning replacing mine with something stronger and with some engraving on it..

Also, about noise, you can always buy this which is what I do. Makes everything much more quiet.

Still looking for a local place to do the work on the window, but for filter just going to get a standard filter from demcifilter

PSU filter is something you'd have to make yourself unless you want the cheap one it comes with.

And the window is transparent (completely see-through with no blur/grey).
