NZTX 340S Elite or Corsair Carbide 400C

I looked up my parts for my build at pcpartpicker , both are compatible but nzxt 340s comes first out of all the cases , while the corsair one , is recommended at 22 th place .

Both are excelent cases , have great reviews and are worth their money... although i am more prone to corsair ( since most of my spec items ( ram,psu) are gonna be corsair , and i allready own a scimitar and about to buy k70 rapidfire keyboard ) i still dont know which one to get... from critics i can see they both have lots of space , nice air flow and cable management....

 

Only thing is, corsair carbide 400c is a bit noisy ( thats what reviews say ) . with both cases costing same money ( NZXT S340 Elite at ; 102.49 euroes , and Corsair Carbide 400C at ; 103.15 euroes )

it's really up to fanciness and austhetics...

One thing to notice is that the nzxt has 2x 2.0 usb and 2x 3.0 while the corsair case only has 2x 3.0 ... my usb is 2.0 so does that mean i wont be able to  download windows if i get the corsair one?

And also, does the nzxt contain a glass panel? because at ''extras'' is has nothing , but on the corsair one , it says ''window''

well just say that it doesnt have a window.... but the nzxt s340 NON-ELITE does... so, with 30$ less at only 78.49 euroes , yet no 2.0 usb , should i get the corsair one, or the nzxt ?

USB 2.0 drives work with USB 3.0 ports. And I'd just get whichever you like best. Just know that the NZXT S340 Elite has a tempered glass side panel, so it won't scratch very easily, and I don't think the 400c does. Just get whichever you think looks the nicest, as they are both great cases.
