"Brand new case that launched today"
Me watching this 3 years later.
I thought the same thing lol
Same lol
And I'm building a new system in one.
They don't even sell this case anymore... It's the cheapo case you now get when you order prebuilts from iBuyPower.
Yup, I bought this around the time it came out. Now I'm looking at replacing it cause I finally got sick of the horrible airflow.
WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A NEW CASE TO COME OUT AS SOON AS I ALREADY BOUGHT A NEW ONE
because the PC gods hate you ?
I bought my S340 two days ago.... and now i want that. fuck. :D
Not going to mention the case you bought? Okay then, Fuck you..
Ikr.. just got a fractal design define r5 like 1-2 months ago, while that is a great case, the side panel window is horrible and it costs like 130€ here..
Edit: nvm, not enough radiator space for me, now I am happy again :D
***** Ah nice, Thinking about picking up myself a Corsair Carbide 400c soon.
3:57 *gives case a hug*
so cute
Dylan Reimer I
You're killing me. This is still the only case on the market with front panel HDMI and you never even showed how the thing connects.
There's a gap in the back of the case and an HDMI cable inside. You route it through the gap and plug it into your GPU
@@Vilnietizzz Your'e absolutely right. I was going nuts with this too till I saw other builds having the cable come out the back from the side and plugged into the GPU.
This is the case I have been waiting for. They better not make an H440 Elite after I buy this case. I'll be mad lol
I JUST finished my S340 build.... dammit NZXT!
Same dude, i'm pissed lol.
That tempered glass doe...
This case is basically the poor man's enthoo evolv atx TG ..... for the price it's one hell of a case. I doubt a new h440 could be as cheap as this
Nathan Bullock I agree. I think that's why this case worked so well. There was nothing on that side to look bad ha
To those asking - at 2:22 I actually say "I *wouldn't* recommend intake" due to the absence of a dust filter. Sry if my bad annunciation made it sound like "I would"
yes
+Korkiecraft he changed it like a month ago. you haven't watched in a while have you?
the fact that you're using the same motherboard and CPU cooler that I bought makes me more enticed to go with this case over the DarkBasePro900
BitWit I'm.
What are the non-static glove thingys that you have in a tissue box?
It's a dream this pc. I'll hope, one day, to buyng a pc like this: now i haven't possibility. Good work bitwit, i'm your followers from Italy and love you channel!!!
2:08
Bitwit: (Tips case)
Me: (*Breathes heavily*)
Ah, I don't believe Kyle covered this, but if he did, my apologies. NZXT Has provided a cutout next to the rear IO for the front panel HDMI passthrough :D Now I'm 100% sold on this case. I just wish that the rear mounted fan had support for 140mm fans.
whats the hdmi passthrough for? never seen an hdmi cable come with a pc. Is it for VR only?
No, it's not but that's what 99% of people will use it for :P
+DJHeroMasta " I just wish that the rear mounted fan had support for 140mm fans" I don't know why case manufacturer's still are only supporting 120mm fans in cases. I mean c'mon it's 2016, 140mm fans have been around for a few years now. I have 9x140mm fans in my case and I'm still waiting on the perfect case to upgrade to. The Be Quiet DB900 got my attention, but I lost all interest when I saw it doesn't include a power supply shroud. I'm waiting on the Phanteks Enthoo Elite to be announced, but nothing yet since Computex earlier in the year :/
Keep waiting, they'll soon come through. Worst case is (should I say no pun intended?) you buy a new chassis and a few weeks later, here comes Phantek's Enthoo Elite :D
did anyone realize there is no place to put the optical drive
but the front IO will add more visible cables. What if I dont want to see those while wearing my VR-headset.
close your eyes you will be fine
Proccito you're wearing a VR headset, you won't see the cables...
Also you can just go to the back IO if you want to
you can see through a VR headset? like AR (HoloLens)?
Timlinguy *WOOSH*
if you're wearing your VR headset you won't see your PC anyway...
3:10 - 3:17 is my favorite part. Had me dying! xD
Looks nice aside from the hdd mounting situation.
2:10 gave me a mini heart attack
same
ikr my heart skipped a beat
I DIDNT LIKE IT I DIDNT LIKE IT I DIDNT LIKE IT I DIDNT LIKE IT!
Same
A man came up to me and he said "I'm a teepee! I'm a wigwam! I'm a teepee! I'm a wigwam!" I said relax man, you're two tents.
molex should be illegal
Why is it annoying?
When you've moved to newer hardware and everything uses SATA power (ssd, hdd, optical maybe) and you want to keep your system as clean as possible, you're not gonna want to plug in a strand of molex cables for a single thing (nzxt hue+) and then have to worry about tying down and hiding the rest of the molex ends.
BT Oh well, i guess i don't know that problem since i still use molex :/
I'm in IT and I commonly service desktops with molex fans. This is exactly how I feel
Time to upgrade that stuff buddy. I'm slowly removing all of the old legacy systems out in the pos field
I subscribed because of this 18:15
Jonathan David 😂
Jonathan David q
We can have a sata party 😂
*HELLO SATA*
Jonathan David dude who is he imitating? I can't put my finger on it.
I read the title as a $340 build. I was met with this D: oh well.
BooFneY same
did anyone else cringe at 4:53 when he was pushing against them ram dimms
oh god, those poor Dom Plats!
lol
usb 2.0 hub made me cringe
Pandawatch why?
Jesus fuckin christ, thats expensive RAM, dude, stahp!!!11!
I PREORDERED THIS CASE WITHOUT LOOKING AT REVIEWS IN RED AND BLACK
Yolo and keep making great vids :)
LDM // living on the edge fam
MrDynamicMan i know haha, ridky stuff :P
ibuypower element looking ass case
I have the s 340 ghetto elite.I siliconeguned a piece of 4mm tinted mirror seethrough glass and removed the mounting for the stock window.It looks badass...
"PCI-EXPRESS, sometimes you're so expressive"
I'm dying lmao
That was one sexy motherboard...
just beautiful, if only the top exhaust grill had a better looking design or a fan filter to hide it a little bit, it would be perfect.
If they implemented something like Fractal Design's Moduvents, that would be pretty awesome.
Yeah, seriously. This case has this beautiful, super minimal aesthetic going for it and all of a sudden, there's this fugly, inward indented top fan grill out of nowhere...
I think silverstone sells them magnetic dust filter.
www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Filter-Magnet-Supply-FF141B/dp/B00ARB5E8A?th=1
Does this case allow enough room for a reservoir and custom loop?
AudyRen you're a lifesaver.
There is something wrong. You could put the ssd cable trought the front of the case, there was space specially designed for it
What SSD Cable?
@@GhostHostMemories The cable of the SSD
Is there a way to purchase that plexiglass and install it on the previous S340 model?
Just bought this one!! I love it! I got the White on White version, an MSI KRATE X370 Mobo, 16GB White Corsair DDR4 3200, Ryzen 1700 CPU, Corsair 850W PS, NXXT KRAKEN cpu cooler, and I'll still be using my GTX 790ti as card prices are still high. If you get this case trust me you wont be disappointed!!!
Haha fuck my life I just finished a build in the s340 when was this thang even announced :(((
Today.
Cooper Williams ditto
Ouch
SELL IT THEN BUY THE NEW ONE!
Just do what I did, Sell it and buy the elite. I lost around 10$ but fuck I loved this case much more.
I read the title as $340.
Would anyone buy a case that expensive anyway?
EpicPudding same lol
nope. I paid $30 for a case and my build has a 8 core cpu with a 1060... I will upgrade to a 1080 next year and still have the same case. outside I don't give a shit what it looks like. it's the inside that counts.
well mine was 250, but my build is also 5000 dollars so
I guess a Caselabs case
I really want the Dark Base 900 Pro
What LED did you use for the top of this case?
Just bought this case! Can't wait for it to arrive. I'm moving my motherboard and cpu/cooler over from my old build in an Azza Hurrican. But got a new graphics. Your videos have helped a lot since I haven't put a computer together for over 4 years.

Considering an SSD, just can't get myself to fork over the money...
Eh why would you set the top fan to intake if there is no filter?exhaust makes more sense
Indeed. Unless you love a dusty pc.
If you have it set to intake with no filter it will throw dust inside the case. Exhaust will push the air and dust out
He even said that
Phil Jones I thought that my self
Yeah I think that's why he said that the top fan is set to exhaust and that he wouldn't recommend intake because there's no dust filter at the top.
Looks like the Corsair 400C has some good competition.
the 460x has some good competition*
yea honestly I don't like how the front of the 460x is also glass. just a bit much. and the rgb fans are static pressure but is used as airflow in their product pages lol
Haven't even heard of the 460X until you mentioned. Just checked it out. It's kind of going over the top now. I think the 400C makes a statement while still being quite minimalist.
the iphone 4S has some good competition*
yea I like the 400c. was my second choice. but I really want glass lol
You need to do more of these. It's the little things (Like the Fan/Radiator Installation issue) that help the most.
I just purchased this case a year after the video and I'm excited to build in it. The most important feature for me is the 280mm radiator mount on the front which my old case from Fractal Design unfortunately missed.
TeilungDurchNull thats great but I heard there is only one fan on the top does your pc overheat if not would you recommend this case Because im upgrading
I'll just wait for the H440 Elite.
same
Is there even gonna be one?
muzosh i think so
JustFlash I hope so.
I hope for this :)
That's right! No script!
*Make PC building great again!*
Glad you got to this one, i'm seeing it as a deal on MassDrop and instantly searched for it and luckily you're my first result AND i'm already subscribed. thanks for making this video
Did NZXT update their older S340 case? When I received my S340 case, I got the same filter as the S340 elite has. Meaning the S340 filter has the same tray the Elite mode does.
John Muskett interesting. I might buy the elite soon. How’s ur s340 holding up?
So did mine
@@primaldark1724 had my white elite for a year. So far beautiful!!
why does this case not support two 120mm fans on top? why only one?
Mac Smith Because it does
Adardon 106 ?
Eric Hjalmarsson couldn't have been that long if the case just dropped...
could be due to the price point? Only a suggestion.
Eric Hjalmarsson I notice they've excluded a few features that are on the H440, like rubber grommets, fan hub, drive bays, sound-proof padding. Still, I think this looks much sleeker than the H440 because of the tempered glass. Bit salty cuz I bought my H440 only last week.
Hey Kyle, there's another pass-through for the front SSD mount so you don't have to squeeze between the hard drive cage. It's right in front of the cage.
That's what I did too. Lots of room to route cables around the front
iceman2087 might be late but what you mean by the front? Where the fans are ?
this is my favorite pc build video in youtube....great design and the pc looks absolutly amazing....good work man.....best of luck🖒🖒🖒🖒👍👌👌👌👌🖒🖒
2:08 where he throws the case on a 45 with one hand after just explaining how much the tempered glass makes him nervous lol ;)
I just bought the s340 fuck my life
it's still a great case. No need to feel bad about your purchase at all.
TechNation i know but the sidepanel is sexy as fuck
Ì also just got the s340. Don't worry, it's still a great case :)
Irrational Feminist Wow, you did something rational! :O
NuvoEdits lol i know i just like that sidepanel
Hey there,
I just wanted to tell you, that I love all your videos, and you helped me a lot with building my very first PC, keep being yourself, and, of course, have fun doing your videos!
Love (#nohomo), Nick :*
Man watching PC's get build is so relaxing
Just sold me my new case! Appreciate the build and feed back
23+ minutes of my life I'm never getting back 😡
Totally worth it 😁👍👍
I just brought the nzxt s340 WTF can't return it either omg
SAME :(((
Me too! I just posted my PC build on my channel. Let me know what you think!
Shut the fuck up, I just bought it on Sunday, and I paid $18 shipping because my mother bought the refurb one and not the new version.
imma upgrade my one from a year and a half ago to this, got scratches and stuff on it by accident and on on the window when i went to a lan party ;((( perfect timing form NZXT for me
Jordan McGaw I'm going to thermite mine out of revenge.
everything sounded nice, but same-old, but that cable management puck really sells it for me. JOSH! THIS IS GREAT MARKETING!
FWI you can run that HDMI passthrough cable or the opening at the back of the case and plug it to the rear HDMI port no special card with internal HDMI needed. That's a very handy feature for those of VR early adopters.
I like this case but an considering going ITX for a more portable VR rig.
Is the HDMI 2.0?
How is his motherboard all black? Clicked the link and its red.
super late but it's rgb lighting
need a way to spend that Partnership Money

The "I scrounged around for some parts in my room" pc is a million times better than mine that took me 10 months to save up for lol
I had to come to this video to see how the hell he mounted that SSD mount straight with the PSU shroud. Looks like there are some kind of nooks. Thanks a lot Kyle!
Hey Kyle what kind of white LED did you put in there? I want one kinda
Mr. Aces I'm guessing an nzxt hue plus or something.
Doesn’t look like a hue+
i mean, this was commented a whole year after it got released. He was probably busy answering new comments.
I’m pretty sure It’s the nzxt hue
Hello sata cable ;) 18:16
Hi
Hi
The front "SSD drive holder" is actually recommended for NZXT hue plus control unit so that the lights on i are not wasted.
I am using this case for my build. It is really nice. You get a completely clear view of your parts
Anyone know a pc i can make using rebuilds and used parts for under $100.
just for productivity!
what exactly do you want to do on it?
premiere pro or photoshop. not much gaming but a tiny bit like lol eat
DarklordVidz - Is your price range $100?
yup
but USED only
Do the fans come with it?
Orangeme I’m pretty sure two come preinstalled on the back and the top, but front you have to buy.
9:06 If you look back at the front, there is an additional hole to the left to prevent that but you would have to turn ur SSD 180 degrees (which is fine)
btw guys that interal usb hub is needed with some motherboards for example my asus IX formula only has 1 internal usb connecter while i need 2
Please Wait For The H440 Elite*,
4:38 haha you sound like Johny Bravo xD
0:00
Whutzzup gyawys!? was the best part XD
Cool to see a more relaxed approach! I'm not entirely familiar with your channel, but it's cool to see you... "break character?" If that makes sense? It's not just pure empirical information nut-to-butt, but some fun input that I personally learn more from. Feels more practical. Subbed for more of this!
Is that nzxt cooler included with the case or did he just happened to have one lying around?
Imran Jaan sadly that cooler doesn't come with the case :(
No definitely does not come with if
yeaaa a 100$ case comes with a 280mm rad mmhm i wish you led the world with your intelligence
That cooler is more expensive than the case
TechShot Chill nerd, he probably didn't know how much that cooler is or what it is.
"That would be clutch guys, that would be super clutch." -_- guess that is what the kids are say'in these dayz yo.
Thank you very much for this detailed step-by-step. I'm getting this tower tomorrow and this has been invaluable!
You can run the cables to the front SSD around the hdd cage. I did in mine last week.
H440 Elite is out yeah im getting it
Wait, what? Don't you mean S340 Elite? Are they making a H440 Elite as well?
yep
BLACKSSS Do you have a link/source? I want to get one if it does indeed exist
no he means the S340 :P
bullshit
I was sold on the case until you installed the hard drive. If I'm spending $100 on a case, I expect better hard drive mounting.
Yeah cause your always going to be installing and uninstalling hard drives right ?
I have this case and had to replace a drive and then added a 3TB later. In my other machines it took less than a minute, in this much longer. How many times have you also had to remove your power supply to change a drive? It's the only flaw this case has, if the drive bay was able to be removed it would be perfect.
Just want to mention that NZXT actually fixed the S340's bottom dust filter and it went unnoticed, because I bought mine one week ago and it came with a very similar one to the one on the S340 Elite
As for the HDMI passthrough. There is a small hole on the back side of the case that you can route the hdmi cable to the back of a gfx card...
Am I the only one that still would like the option of a 5.25" drive?
I don't think it would look as good on this case specifically
boomstick900 just buy a external for like 25 dollars
boomstick900 for me be quiet 600 temper glass beter this case
I bought a bluray drive that looks similar to the nzxt hue+
The hard drive bay is such a let down
IKR, why not include some drive caddies that easily slide inside. Imagine you have everything installed and for some reason you need to remove/replace the old HDD. You gotta remove the freaking PSU and all the cables because of the screw that goes on the inside
Rodrigo Santos just dont screw it in duh
Richest Miner sure, gonna do the same with the cpu cooler to save me from the hassle as well
Instead of taking out the psu.. just take off the front panel of the case to access the screws of the psu.
Who is really going to use 3 hdd and an ssd...who is even going to use more than 1 hdd and an ssd, and the storage is the thing you upgrade the least on a pc
I just finished building a new PC in this case, and was a total noob, my very first home build. Must say it was super-easy with this case..
When you tipped it at 2:07 I thought it was falling over and my heart dropped into my stomach
What Would it cost to build This exact pc?
1800$ and up depending on your country
haahahaa......NO
it would cost about 1000-1200$
+TheBlackAndFurious 5 Over here in the Netherlands it'd probably be €15000...
The founders edition 1070 is around $450 the total when I bought one came out to almost $500 so you're wrong also.
YellowPeaches is right
, that Motherboard I'm assuming is an 'ASUS GODLIKE' Motherboard if I remember correctly. That alone I think was like 300$ - 500$
the only thing that would make this even better is a razer edition with rgb lighting
lmao
And with a mini spoiler on top to make it faster.
Yeah RGB would be nice but no razer 'IM A GAMERRR!1!' branding price premium please.
Matthew Songuad there is, look at the page on newegg.com
^ That's the normal S340 lmao
I love how you have this stuff lying around your room
I am cramming a Corsair H115i 280mm in the front along with an EVGA 1080 Hybrid. Yikes it is tight. Using an EVGA Z270 FTW full ATX board. There are some significant problems and I knew it would be a battle. I really wanted to pull the air through the radiator up front, but the front mount of the rad only allows push. The cut outs on the deck for cable management are great but on for the EVGA board. The second USB 3.0 header is overlapping the cutout and the cutout must be widened to fit a the second 3.0 header. My God.. the drive bay for my two 1TB storage is horrible. The holes to the drive only line up in some places and took away my choice of how deep to mount the drive. So, the things Bitwiz pointed out were legit and I could pick it apart even more, but my desire to downsize my case came with a price.
I bought the s340 elite and it is sexy
Does it come with fans in the front?? I ordered one just want to know if I need two additional 120mm coolers
PLEASE go back to awesomesauce network... Every time I see the name BitWit I cringe.
2987ms Dear god, no. It's 2017, and unless you're 12 or a complete socially inept nerd you should not be saying "awesomesauce", like, ever.
Gogh Fuchursëlf It was quirky.
I just started getting the parts for a new PC build. Boy my AIO sure looks good flaccidly hanging in this case.
Thanks for the build. It helped me build out my 340 elite. This case is awesome for a mid tower.
Anyone else find that one fan on the top to be a raging fucking eyesore and automatically not worth its aesthetic price tag? i mean come on, that looks like someone like DIY brand off newegg did that top panel. Smh. I'd buy it if the top didnt look like that.
ItsMy GamingSeat nope, that's all you, put a AER RGB fans on it and it looks amazing
MasterBizzy1 yup I love the look of an rgb fan on the top
Just got this amazing case. Only issues are:
Not much space for to manage the cables. I could not fit an NZXT Grid anywhere. I now have it in the hard drive bay.
The metal case is ridiculously easy to scratch.
Just joined the channel and i've been binge watching your vids and they are great ! I'm about as computer ignorant as any one human can get , but hell now I want to try to build one ... LOL ! Keep up the good work and thanks...
although I don't have that much money to build a decent PC but watching people building a montrous one is very satisfying
you tilting the case at around 2:00 scared the living crap out of me
kyle, i just want to say that you made the most helpful and elaborate review of this case. this review is just full of useful insights. good job and i hope you will produce more reviews of this quality. cheers man!
you dont have to rout the ssd cables through the bay u can just route them in the front just after the dust filter there is a tiny gap on each side of the cradle
I'm sold on this case. Was getting a corsair 570x. £100 saving is too much to pass on. Might get an elgato hd60 pro with the money saved.
Dying just from watching you picking that mobo by those RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS, FCK! 4:50
Pulling the hot air inside the case. I had the same and stuff inside was always hot.
GPU about 72 degrees until I changed to Define 7, Temps dropped to 60.
the way you left the data cable at 11:41 killed me. please dont tell me you left it that way.
Looks amazing! Really dig how well lit it is in there. I'm used to most cases looking like the seediest alleys in Amsterdam.
Great video man! Super informative for someone looking to put a rig together. Im going to show this when a friend wants to build a rig.
And recomend this case lol
i disagree with the top fan being intake, heat rises that fan exhausting out is a perfect design to quickly remove all heat from system. i feel having it intake will only keep a lot of warm air inside. i added a 140mm fan to replace the 120mm stock fan and love the design.
Love the change to a "live" build. Keep them up!
I'd like to see manufactures putting dust caps on the external usb ports.....not a big issue. Maybe another level of refinement. Nice use of the s340 by the way. .
