NZXT S340

[DefinitelyTech]

So the NZXT S340 is on sale today over at FRYS.com and I was extremely interested in this case for the aesthetics, but it seems to have a very limited front intake for air cooling. I already have 2 - Corsair 120SP fans and would like to use them. What are your suggestions? I also have the Deepcool Dukase v2 in mind.

I have an S340 with a front mounted H100i and the intake is just fine. Buy the elite if you can though, the extra features are definitely worth it. But if you can only get a discount for the normal S340, its still a great case.

Cheers!

Side Question, @DeezNoNos. Would LED fans be visible? Inside or out?

s340 is a great case. Hands down my favorite case that I've ever had. You will not regret buying it, especially if you get a deal on it. 

 

I switched from s340 to Define R5 for extra rad space and while my temps decreased(from extra radiator, not from airflow) I wish I had just kept it. Such a fresh, clean look both internally and externally.

I have an S340 and you can feel the airflow through the front by hovering your hand over the gaps. It's got fantastic airflow, have no worries.

I have this case and have had no problems with air intake. I have the fans it came with at the back but added two fans into the front of the case to get more air flow. You could put your existing fans in the front if you wanted to.

I have the S340. It's easily the best case I have ever had. I have built countless computers on some of the best cases money could buy at the time. Today they would be considered to be useless garbage but that is neither here nor there. I have a Deep Cool 240mm liquid cooling AIO. People lied about liquid cooling AIO. They said marathon gaming sessions would make them equal to the best air cooling solutions with temps rising after hours of game play. Not the case in my cooler. It pumps out the warm water and replaces it with radiated cool liquid, keeping my temps below 60C during heavy gaming. 

 

I was also considering the Phanteks P400. If you went that route they say to get the tempered glass. For $50 the S340 is a no brainer.
