Why is the NZXT S340 so popular?
59$, this is a 90$ case but 60$ on amazon right now...this completely DESTROY the 340 in terms of build quality and look:

Looks are subjective. I personally think the S340 is more attractive.
@RE_V3RSE I've bought two S340 cases because I think they're great. Functional reasons:
-two large air intake openings in the front behind the panel.
-feet are tall and provide airflow for the PSU's bottom vent.
-captive thumb screws
-side panels are easily removed and replaced even with a full nest of cables in the back. (Unlike the H440, which we also own.)
-nifty shelf on the PSU shroud to mount two 2.5" drives.
-comes with two exhaust fans that help to keep my CPU idle at 25C. (I have two Noctua intake fans, but they are currently unplugged)
-drive bay in the back under the PSU shroud holds two additional 3.5" drives, or four 2.5" drives with cheap adapters (That's how I have both cases I own configured) and vents directly above to let hot air escape. This is useful for me because I have six 2.5" drives and zero 3.5".
-steel construction. It doesn't wobble.
By no means is this a comparison to the Phanteks case. It very well might share many of these features that I found particularly appealing.
Also, it wasn't expensive and it looks killer.
