Any colour preferences? Do you want any features like removable HDD trays, sound dampening, etc.?

Why are you replacing the S340?  It's a fantastic case.

Sound dampening, black/red, gaming style ( i like how nzxt phantoms look ) fan controller

 

NZXT H440 would be perfect for you then.

Thumbscrews falling of, having to hold side panels on w/ duct tape. I know it's great, but I am going to upgrade as it's a budget case while my build is $1750.

You're replacing it because the thumbscrews aren't staying in?  Get two new thumbscrews.  Just because it's a 'budget' case doesn't mean it isn't good, my build is about £1,500 and the case is perfect.

Indeed. I love the case, too. My son has one, and I'm building my Skylake system in one.

OP probably just wants something new/different... which is fine.

The S340 is the best case I've used to date, the only reason I'd see for an upgrade is if you're using a custom loop with more than one double or higher rad.

I could see that. I'm not into water cooling, and I'm not sure I ever will be. But... never say never.

That one and the H440 have made me an NZXT fanboy I think. I'm excited to build my computer. A month can't come fast enough. I sold my laptop and I've got money to spend! :)

I was looking for a small ATX case and the S340 is even smaller than the Corsair 350D!  If you're looking for a small ATX case then you can't get any better than the S340, it even has a basement! :o  Enjoy building your new rig!
