so I have settled on the S340 black/blue, where I will be blanking off the top vent and painting the blue black. The goal is an all black theme, to go with my Powercolor R9-290 PCS+.

I don't want AIO and it seems like the Darkrock 3 an NF-d14 are the biggest/best air coolers that would fit the S340. Seeming that the diff in performance is marginal I'd opt for the DR3. Am I missing a any othe coolers that I should be looking at.

Anyone know where to get a second 135mm silent wing fan for push/pull?

Couldn't you get the Dark Rock Pro 3, which already has 2 fans?

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Wouldn't call that "all black" with the white PCI slots.

That's true, but it's a lot less work painting just PCI slots than painting all of the blue accents

They aren't white, they're vented.

 

Also to the OP, contact Be Quiet. Outside of PSU's and coolers, 135mm fans are not at all common. So they don't bother trying to sell them openly.

The all black is glossy where as the blue is Matte on the outside

I was under the impression that the pro would not fit the s340....
