I started my initial build with a NZXT S340 which I still love. Its so nice and simple it just worked great! The pricepoint was perfect for my budget g3258 build, and when I found a good deal on a 290x there was plenty of room for it.

I was soo pleased with how the S340 looked and performanced I kept it when I upgraded to a z97-a / 4690k and a 295x2. The 1300w G2 Evga needed also fit perfectly!

I was happy with the setup, but i really wanted to keep expanding. I will be adding another 290x and want to do a custom loop. So I purchased a Corsair Air 540 and added a couple of sp120s... might of gone a little overboard with those.

When you remove the HDD trays the bracket that holds them lines up perfectly with 120mm fans. So i just put the screws on the fans and a small rubber washer and slide the fans in. Then just tighten them to secure them. I did add fan filters too

Seriously?

 

So they could of made them fan mounts extremely easy and made this case even better but didn't?
