That is entirely personal preference. I like the P400 better, but that's my opinion.

I have been looking into getting either the P400 or S340 (non elite) and decided to probably go for the Phanteks case. The NZXT is nice, just feels/looks a bit less sturdy and professional.

But it will come down to personal choice.

I would vote S340 Elite. Do they sell a tempered glass side panel for the S340 non Elite? I got my S340 before the tempered glass trend craze thing. They are the same case, right?

No, only the Elite has tempered glass.

Keep in mind that if you want a HUE+ the NZXT is much better.

Agh, i like them both equally. The Phanteks is cheaper and comes with RGB LEDs included, which is really nice, i think i'll go for that. I've also heard that the S340 has very limited space for long GPUs, and that the cable management bar actually interferes with a front radiator with a push/pull configuration, is that right?

But can you buy a tempered panel for the non Elite? They seem to be the same case just different side window

No, not unless you mod your case.

But a S340 Elite panel would work on the s340 right?

Are the panels the same? If they are the same dimensions and same mounting points, they should be compatible.

I don't think so, theres little clamps on the S340 Elite that keep the panel in place

This or S340 Elite?

I have the P400S and my wife has the P400 Tempered glass.  I can say without a doubt that I love this case.  It has quite a bit of room, lots of filters and yes the all included RGB LED on the front of the case with controller.  Just remember, to get the RGB LED inside the case you need to purchase the strips seperately.  They cost around 20 bucks for the kit and they just plug straight into a pre-installed plug so its quick and easy.  Here are pics of my build and my wifes AMD build.

So the RGB LEDs are preinstalled only on the front of the case? I thought it came with a RGB Strip included so you could put it anywhere in the case.  And that's a lot of space left, i'm not sure i'm a big fan of that. Thanks for showing me the pics, i have a clearer idea of how the case will look.
