![]() In an effort to streamline the exterior look, the solid front panel is uninterrupted save for a small NZXT logo near the foot of the enclosure. Whereas other chassis at this price point can feel overly plastic, NZXT's mid-tower touts a 90 per cent steel construction and feels reasonably sturdy throughout. The S340 isn't as eye-catching as the H440, which may be a good thing, yet it's a good-looking case and the overall build quality belies the price tag. A white variant is also available for those looking to make more of a statement, and in recent weeks matte-black options have also been released with blue or red highlights. Our all-black review sample is sleek and stylish with a well-sized side window, though it seems NZXT couldn't resist a bit of jazz - the side and front panels are finished with very glossy paint. There are no optical drives to speak of, resulting in an interior cavern that feels roomier than the external dimensions let on.Īesthetically, the S340 is one of NZXT's more mainstream designs and is likely to appeal to a wider audience. ![]() Measuring 200mm x 445mm x 432mm and weighing a smidge over 7kg, the chassis is nice and compact for a mid-tower solution and that's thanks in part to NZXT's insistence on cutting support for legacy components. The H440 remains a solid option, but for anyone wanting to spend less, it's well worth diverting your attention to NZXT's lower-cost alternative, the Source 340 (S340), which is under the spotlight today.Īs part of NZXT's keep-it-simple range, the S340 carries an affordable £55 price tag and should offer a lot of what's good about the H440 without breaking the bank. Soundproofed and forward-thinking, said chassis continues to be a go-to solution for high-end builds and is available today in a choice of colours for under £100. We saw our fair share of intriguing PC chassis in 2014, and when we think of those that stood out from the crowd, NZXT's H440 comes to mind.
