S340

 

Define S

The S340 has IIRC awful airflow, the Define S is better for aircooling, but IMHO, the S340 looks better.

The Fractal Design Define S is THE watercooling case. It makes it incredible easy with dedicated pump and reservoir mounts and no harddrive cages.
It also has a lot of fan mount options to get the most out of your loop. It's an excellent case and I think the best allrounder that was ever released.
