Hello. I'm going to be building my girlfriend a gaming system soon and I want a white case that's very sleek, functional and moderately low cost.

Has anyone had any first hand experience with the NZXT S340? What is the cable management like? Any gripes about it?

I've seen and read reviews, but I thought someone on here can give me first hand experience from an actual build they have/had.

Cheers!

I have one and love it.

Here's my own thread about it with pictures.

I hate the HDD cage in it, and you might want to buy intake fans for it, that's about it.

I had one. It's a pretty decent case for the money. Cable management is great. Only problem I had was that it scratched really easy. Especially the window. 

Oh, and I screwed in one of the PSU bracket screws a tad bit too tight and it chipped the paint. That was my bad, though.

Great case just make sure to tie down the 24 pin cable well since it doesn't have much space at the back and make sure to screw the HDD from the front and back of the cage

It's a breeze to work in and difficult to mess up when it comes to cable management. It's great for a first time builder.
