The editors didn't like
HDD tray doesn't have anything to help with Vibration
If you are going to build in a case that features a full glass side panel
You want things to look neat and orderly inside. This is certainly the case with the S340 Elite
And the shroud to the right of the motherboard helped streamline the look slightly.
Too much force required to remove front panel
Magnetic puck exposes VR headsets to dust
Adding hard drives post-build is a pain
Difficult-to-remove front panel
Magnetic puck attracts dust
Adding hard drives later can be annoying
No toolless mounting mechanism for HDD/SSD
Cable clamps could be improved for better durability
Cannot support CPU air coolers over 161mm in height
We recall being very fond of the original S340 chassis from NZXT, as at that time, it was at the forefront of design, and NZXT were some of the first to introduce PSU covers and solid mid-tower cases that many found intriguing. All of the reasons we like...

Most will agree that a tempered glass side panel looks a lot better on a case than a perspex window. It is an elegant way to show off your configuration, especially in combination with led-lighting. Considering that it is usually relatively dark glass, it...

The S340 Elite has a lot going for it, there's no denying that. The PSU shroud on the bottom of the case is going to make cable management ridiculously easy, even for beginners. The coloured bar is going to help further hide the cables and make everything...

Face panel and dust filter must be removed to access hard drive screws, External expansion card bracket can cause cumbersome card installation
Performance alone gives NZXT's S340 Elite our recommendation in the $100 glass-sided case market, even though some of its advanced features appear gimmicky, and even though some of its basic features seem cheap. £89.99 On Amazon Follow us on Fac...

Beautiful design, particularly the glass panel, Good cable management options, USB / HDMI top panel ports are great, Runs cool and quiet
Not all storage slots are viable, Some missing niceties, Relatively expensive
The S340 Elite is another stylish and well-designed case from NZXT. The extensive selection of ports on the top panel and tempered glass window will be appreciated by all users, while the magnetic puck and top HDMI hookup make this case ideal for the VR c...

Tempered glass side panel, Stealth cable management plate, Stylish good looks, HDMI pass through and cable puck for VR, Room in the front for a 280mm cooler
Drive installation is a pain, No dust filter on the top panel, Cable management clips are not as effective as Velcro straps.
NZXT S340 Elite is a modern twist on the S340 that launched in 2014. If you stand a short distance away from the Elite, the most obvious change is the tempered glass side panel which looks lovely and shows off the inside of your PC to full effect.Take a c...

I have to confess that if I were recommending a build the NZXT S340 is likely the Case that I would recommend. Now in its updated NZXT S340 Elite guise the Case not only looks better, but it's easier to install into and packs some additional features t...
Tempered glass side panel looks great, Good build quality throughout, Excellent cable management, Front HDMI is handy for VR, Compact for a performance mid-tower
Still no reset button, Noisy in stock configuration, Lacks front-facing USB Type-C
