Hiya folks. 

 

Been looking at TG cases for the past week and am coming closer to a purchase. I have pretty much set myself on the S430 Elite at this stage. I Just want a simplistic smalish case for my pretty simple setup. I won't be LC but have a dark rock 3 on my Aurous Rgb MB with a ryzen 1600X. Want to show off those board lights but don't want a bling rig. I only really like the simple looking cases but want the full TG panel. 

Anything else you would suggest before making the purchase of the S340 elite. 

 

Thanks. Mike.

I recommend you check the Define C TG or the Meshify C as well, it's a bit smaller than the S340 Elite and still mostly has a minimalist aesthetic.

Enthoo Pro M TG, Thermaltake View 21, Versa G21 TG, Versa G23 RGB TG (my personal favourite) and Meshify C.

Thanks folks. 

I love the Evolv ATX and 570X but have to be honest and say that both are just too expensive. What is the one people would go for over the S340 Elite. 

 

Thanks. 

I say Define C TG.

Still keep coming back to the S340 in white. Just don't think I want a black case. White grey or something 

Three Alternates

P400 TG 

Enthoo Pro M Special edition (included the link to the only place I know of that sells it)

In win 303

 

Sadly the last two are either "white with black interior" or "Black with white interior", but since you're not using an AIO, air flow shouldn't be too restricted (Enthoo Pro M has the best airflow)

Thanks mate

 

I think its between the P400 and S340 Elite. Only thing I dont like abouit the P400 is the massive amount of space left towards the front of the case where those removable inserts are.

It's physically the same amount of space as in the S340, it just doesnt look like it because the S340 has the big cable bar.

Both cases are 6 one, 1/2 dozen the other. The only real discernible difference is the P400 comes with an RGB strip included (Not super long, but it is noteworthy to people who care about that)
