Enthoo Pro M vs NZXT S340

nick5530

What case would you recommend the Enthoo Pro M or the S340?

 

I prefer the looks of the Pro M, but I don't think the S340 looks bad. They are the same price, but with Pro M I would have to buy an intake fan. The Pro M seems to have better features, but it would end up being more expensive because of the extra fan. However, the S340 would end up being about $10 cheaper, but it doesn't seem to be good overall.

What about features of the cases? I like the Pro M slightly better, but like the looks of them both.

I know. I was saying that I need to purchase an intake fan in addition to the rear exhaust fan that is included.

Enthoo Pro M is a nice case in person, Phanteks ships with decent case fans.

 

Get it for $60 --> https://wikibuy.com/run/1d6dde27-f91d-46f0-8266-45e8f75d1fd5/place-order/e05c688b-fcf8-418c-b757-2e42f0408490

 

 

i agree, id just set the rear fan to exaust and be done with it. if temps are to high get a intake one later. if your using and aio you could use it as an intake. wouldnt see much temp difference really

Could there be any problems about with just having one exhaust fan? Also, I won't be using an AIO.

no real problems, slightly higher temps nothing deadly IMO. the pro m has good airflow from the front and top of the case in general and can always remove the dust filters for more.

The S340 is a nice case with awesome build quality but I think the Enthoo Pro M knocks it out of the park at that price point. The Pro M looks like it's just so easy to work in. I have the full tower Enthoo Pro and it's so awesome to build in, and the Pro M has some even better features like the slide out top radiator mount and the 3.5 inch drive mounts (though I think only one is included). I have to admit I'd want the $100 version with the solid acrylic window though, that thing looks amazing.

I'd agree that it looks amazing. Unfortunately I just don't have the extra money in my budget. I wish I did though.

Well the $60 one is pretty damn nice too. I don't know how anyone can compete with them. I feel like the $100 I paid for my Enthoo Pro was an unreal bargain considering how much better I thought it was built than more expensive cases from Corsair and the like. Phanteks gives so much bang for your buck with their cases.
