Black or White PC Case (NZXT) S340

Going for an RGB themed in either a white or black case, but I don't know what color is better? I'm planning on using the NZXT S340 Elite. The case is made of ABS plastic so i'm worried that over time the white once turning yellow over time.

saw both black and white side by side on store..the white one looks cool from far but when you go close it looks like shiny plastic or someone white taped a case but the black one is matt, poised, not in your face just beatiful

It's a white automotive finish.

The glossy paint is extremely durable, does not easily scratch or pick up finger prints.

Just like on white cars.

saw your build ..looks vey cool, the all white style really goes with the white version, but i think he wants to put rgb not just white from his choice of mobo, black case better suits his build...but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I'd go with a Phanteks P400s or P400s tempered glass case.

i was going to suggest that as well...the P400 tempered in white looks awesome...built in RGB lighting and stuff...looks a whole lot better than the S340

Personally I'd take the matte black one with that part selection also I agree with @Hunter06 from what I've seen the white one looks a bit overly plastic. (Also might want to reconsider the motherboard it's really really overkill and for just a little more you could get a 1080 with a different board :P)
