Hi, 

I can't dicide between these cases. I want a durable case with good positions for fans to keep my pc cooled. I watched a lot videos and reviews about these cases, but still can't decide which one to go with. Under some videos there were comments about P400/P400S that it is the murderer of S340 but somewhere I have read that P400 has a terrible airflow and S340 is better... What case do you have/did you have and which is better in your opinion, and why? Thank you.

They are the same,just go for which one is cheaper or which on you like based on looks,i had a S340 Build for my friend,most amazing budget case,a very compact case similar to Define cases with not much on it....

When life gives you drugs you sell them for a living.

Whichever is cheaper, but personally I'd go with the S340. One thing that is better in Phanteks case is the hard drive mounting, but that is not that much important.

Yup, S340. The build quality is AMAZING for the price. The case is both compact and full of space in the mounting area. But I've seen better cable management options in mid towers to be honest... It's great if you don't have a lot of extra components in your build, but with led strips, 2 SSD + 2 HDD, sleeved extension cables etc... it's pretty hard to do anything more than stuffing the cables in the PSU basement. And airflow is more than enough for a single GPU setup. I have 2x140mm intake and 2x120mm exhaust, didn't notice any temp difference between this and my "old" Cougar Challenger that had 3 exhaust fans and 3 intake fans.
