So, NZXT just announced the new S340 case and i would be happy to hear your opinions.

 

I'm thinking of upgrading from my phantom 410, and this looks like the perfect option for me right now.

yah i really like the minimalist style of the case but im wondering whats the best airflow set up for the case. it doesnt seem to have enough airflow like the H440 and im debating between those two cases right now, S340 and H440. leaning towards the S340 due to design and color but hesitant on airflow. Does anyone know if the airflow will be sufficient in the new S340?

On Reddit the NZXT guy was saying it has better airflow than the h440...I do like the s340 over the h440 myself, mainly because lack of color accents. Though I might get the black and blue h440 when it gets back in stock. I like this clean simple look and has more than enough space for the drives I will use or potentially use

Nice the black and blue looks dope too but you're right about the lack of accents thats why I'm leaning towards it right now but the lack of all the case fans kinda scare me about cooling. And if i were to get the S340 what would you think the best fan orientation setup would be. I have a 140mm Fan a 120mm fan and an H100i cpu cooler.
