What are your specs? Does airflow matter to you? OC'ing?

 

I had an s340 and got tired of it's look very quickly, also the airflow was just horrible I mean bad.

Best & worst cases for your money in 2018 are:

 

Best Cases overall

 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C - Airflow and relatively quiet, best all around case

I) Phanteks Enthoo Pro M / Special Edition (white interior) - Airflow & full water cooling support

I) Fractal Define R6 - Silent with decent airflow

I) Be Quiet! DB 900 (Full Tower) - Airflow and silent 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C mini (mATX)

I) Corsair 400C - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Phanteks 350X - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Fractal Design Focus G

 

Cases that may be worth your money

 

I) Thermaltake G21 - GPU and CPU cooling issues, modest tweaking
I) Silverstone RL06 / Pro - Mustard/Ketchup wires, Shitty cable management, Poor front radiator support, useless psu filter, stupid ssd layout
I) In Win 303

I) Coolermaster H500 no suffix - if 200mm fans are your thing

I) NZXT H700 non "i" version - Needs to come down in price to be worth it

I) Corsair Carbide 100R - Suitable for low end builds

 

The worst cases - Do Not Buy

 

I) NZXT S340/Elite, H500, H440 (everything except the H700) Reason: Poor airflow
I) Coolermaster Masterbox 5

Majority of cases on the market

The airflow on the case that bad is it? :D
I'm kidding, that actually looks pretty slick with that colour scheme and matching graphics card.

The airflow is crude, the front panel makes all the difference.

Thank you for the kind compliment on my build!

Hello! Im thinking of buying an NZXT S340, can you guys hit me up with some of your NZXT S340 builds and whether you guys like it or not, if not just send the pictures, thanks!

Get a case with actual airflow

 

like a Focus G

Master Box 5 black

H500 or RL06 Pro

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

My rig isn't much compared to others.

I do like this case though, it's one of my favorites.

EDIT: apologies for low quality, I still need to get a new phone.
