Eclipse P400 or S340?

[JFischer00]

So I'm looking for a new case, specifically something in the $80 range with a side panel window. I've narrowed it down to these two. Both have windows, great cable management options, and a PSU shroud. However, each has one exclusive feature that I really like. The S340 comes in black and red. The P400 makes up for this with RGB LED lighting at the bottom. Which would you guys suggest and why? Or would you suggest something else, what, and why?

S340.

You can just add the RGB LEDs later by yourself if you truly want them.

Well, I was going to do that anyway, with either case. Would that give a similar look to the built-in stuff on the P400?

If you make it look similar, then sure.

Case under glow is easy to do

It seems the S340 is the way to go. But @Aytex, how did you do those lights?

Sorry it took so long, super busy night yesterday...

 

Threw the desk photo in there to give you an idea of how decently compact it is, my desk is not all that big. Still need to add the Hue+ lighting system and I'm building a custom support for the GPU to rid it of any sag.
