[TPU] NZXT Unveils S340 Color Edition

http://www.techpowerup.com/208481/nzxt-announces-the-s340-color-edition-chassis.html

 

 

 

This Fall saw the S340 lead the way for NZXT in the entry-level case category, bringing premium quality and innovative design to the sub $70 space. Today we're pleased to announce the availability of the S340 in two new stylish colors: Matte Black paneling with either Gloss Blue or Gloss Red accents. Both colors will be widely available to all NZXT sales partners.

 

Man, that looks pretty, though I wish that there were some more color options. A black with white accents in particular would have been nice. In any case (heh), it's the same S340 as before. 

Your thoughts?

 

Unfortunately, the pictures seem to be renders, not actual photos.

I would love one of those completely "blacked out". Or as you said, black with white accents or the other way.

 

EDIT: Just realized it's a re-release but with colors. lol

I would just like a version that isn't shiny. If it wasn't shiny I would consider it an option as a case.

..now if they'd only make one with a dual-fan slot on top, I'd be all over it. But until that is the case, meh my 900D works.

nice, though what I would like to see from NZXT is a Matx version of this case. If someone from NZXT is reading, make it happen!

I'm really digging the accented wire protector

I switched from 450d to S340 (black) and love it, cable cover is so much better than grommets. I may sell the 450d

don't care much for the colors, the whole black and white thing has kinda been NZXT's image for a little while, not sure why they're changing it. The matte black, on the other hand, definitely catches my attention! fuck yeah for matte!

I can see the draw for people who want subtle accents but personally if I'm not going with straight blacck I wan a  lot of color. Not a bad design though.

I would be all over this if there where all black, or white accented versions.

I just received my white S340 and it's just as beautiful as I imagined. I'm really happy with the case but I'm thinking of covering the hole in the PSU shroud with acrylic.

The hole where you're supposed to route the PCI power cables?

No the one that shows off the side of the PSU.

My bad, that's not what I meant, I've been spending a lot of time looking at the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv which has a PSU shroud and it has a side cutout.
