FIRST...
Now that i have your attention, would love to hear what you think of the Audible spot in the beginning. It's great to work with companies we actually support so this integration is quite natural.
HardwareCanucks i got a hard on with that case
yeah
very nice implemented !!
HardwareCanucks Also the quality of the video is OUTSTANDING GREAT JOB
Λευτερης Καλκουνιας do u know the channel zombie unicorn
I have to say Dmitry, if I produced these videos, I would be damn proud of myself. You set the bar pretty high for others on TH-cam. Your channel is truly inspiring. Fantastic job!!! ^_^
+Elliot Parrott thanks so much :) appreciate the kind words! 👍
hey man do you recommend this case or should i buy the Enthoo Evolv Tg?
s340 or corsair 400c?
marcusrat44 s340 elite. Its worth it.
It's a pretty great case Lo Studios. I picked up the white variant and I couldn't be happier with it. ^_^
Damn didn't realize Chris Pratt had a TH-cam channel.
you just made my day
gratz for 1m!! I have been watching you for a while now and this is the best review channel with high quality reviews. Thank you and good luck!
I bought this case in white and black for a new PC build and love it. The build process was so easy, and the cable management was on point.
This is an undeniably sexy case. Holy crap. I love it. Fantastic video, Dmitry. Your cinematography is A+. Never think it can get better but then it does! :D
Wow dude! You put so much into your videos! Supper cool lighting and video work! Keep up the good work! One of the best
Bought it a week ago and it is a gorgeous case, a few led stripes at the top and the bottom and it looks amazing. A lot better that acrylic, no scratches and cleaner look inside.
half a million subs man! I didn't even notice how fast you are growing!
I love your videos. The quality is a 11 out of 10. If i am searching for a case review i always look for a video from you.
That intro was awesome! As usual.
Love the case reviews. Would like to see more of them. Excited to see what you pick as case of the year
this case looks awesome in white.
Great case became greater. Honestly the metal on metal drives hasn't been a problem for my original 340. No acoustic issues because of how solid it is.
Just bought this case after months of debating over all models old and new releases. This case is SUPER! Really, you won't be disappointed. I wanted glass but I wanted satin black. I wanted a way to show off all hardware but not a giant case. I wanted AIO. CHECK ALL BOXES. I did have it down to 570x too big, 460x looked cheap in person, p400 too big and simple, evolve x 2018 q4 model just was too big, with all kinds of support for a second system WTF? So yeah, back to 1st choice.
I don't know what it is about you guys, but your camera, audio and editing work is magic. I don't think any other TechTuber does it half as good as you. You guys do a really amazing job.
This case looks great! i was looking at the s340 but im seriously considering the elite now that ive seen this!
Very beautiful video. Nice lighting. Can see everything to tiny details. Perfect.
You sir make the best case reviews I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!!
I've got this in black and red, absolute dream to build in and really does look the part too.
Only gripe is with the hard drive cages as said in the video
Just got the S340 Elite white today, it's by far the best mid tower ATX case I've ever used. The cable management are so well done and the exterior design are so clean and minimalistic. Even the magnet brick for headset is well designed! NZXT just got another loyal customer!
that pro content... omg. incredible shots and editing skills!
CONGRATS ON 500K!!!
how are they only at 500k?
great vid and i love it. I very like the way you highlight the case when you film it.
Good god Dimitri.. There is just so much finesse and pure artistic talent in each of your videos.. They quite often leave me speechless! Amazing videography! :)
Been waiting for this! Thanks so much
Thank you Demytri. Very nice case and build video.
Love your case reviews. Do them more often :D
That camerawork is simply amazing, you truly are the king of B-roll and for very good reason.
Kishen Pankhania don't tell me you're one of those who think B-roll determines quality of video ? lol
His Mouse review yesterday. the Mionix QG. just bad. RocketJumpNinja is a God in comparison, His mouse reviews are hands down the best, Why, information.
Oberone Kenobi When reviewing something who's selling point is aesthetics, you need to be able to show different angles and perspectives without making the vid boring. Also the voice-over goes so well with the shots that the explanation is also the best
RJN knows a lot more about the gamer side of things compared to most hardware review channels from what I've seen
i was waiting so much for you to rewiew this case, cince i know you make the best case rewies in the entiere universe... keep doind cool videos, so that i will have a harder time chosing my next pc case...
Great video man loved it
Love the camera work
I have this case :D unfortunately mine came with three VERY small scratches on the inside of the panel due to there not being any protective plastic on the inside, even with the small damage Im still IN LOVE with this case!
Great job on the build. Thanks for taking time to share. Parts list please?
I ordered this case once i saw it online haha, in red and black. Cant wait to get my hands on it.
It's so beautiful... hopefully the video gives it justice.
HardwareCanucks can you please tell me what kind of cooler you used? I'm afraid a h115i won't fit. Was this an h110i?
+HardwareCanucks
That's something you guys always seem to manage imo :-)
Neil Arado yes. h115 will fit.
Now this is a video I have been waiting for!
Watching this while installing my PC in S340 Elite. Yay!
I had my sights set on the phanteks enthoo evolv... But with the price this one is looking beautiful! Oh the choices!
Nicely done as always D!
this is my next case. Was going to get the evolv like yours but then this came out.
That's one very smooth transition 0:22
Such a sexy case to me... will use it for a future build. Maybe Zen, Kaby or Cannon Lake.
Just bought this case goddamn the quality is superb!!
Hey man, I love your reviews and they are some of the best on youtube, especially the case reviews, and I am definitely a subscriber now. One question though: as your name is HardwareCanucks, is there any way you could list both the American and Canadian prices going forward? When you list a price I get excited and then realize that it is in USD
half way from 1 mil sub. congrats
Great Case, Great Video as usual from HardwareCanucks. + Side for this case is that some GPU's like the ASUS Strix 1070/1080 have a internal HDMI port which would keep the wiring looking cleaner (i'm sure others have it as well only once i've personally handled).
Your B-roll is A+!
Awesome video!!!
I really like your case reviews. They are the best on YT.
BTW, What is the name of the background music? Please. I cant stop to listening it
Been waiting for this vid my whole life.
I had a look at the white version but it still has the matte black surround to hide the edges of the case. I would have much preferred if they were white as well.
I bought the S340 Elite case aswell, its so so sick, but i think i need to change my cooler!
Tempered glass is becoming a futuristic future to me. My Enthoo Luxe is going to be very jealous when I bring home the new case. Wish I had a friend who had some kind of modifying experience with glass works for this one. Really love it. The scratches in the current glass came quickly when by a circumstance it was leaning on the wall on the floor,. And it slid down., And voila. They are minor. But none the less,. They are visible.
I still wish they'd make an M-ATX or ITX version. I built a friends computer in the S340, I loved the case, so easy to build in, just too big
Wow I love the looks of this case. Also have you got your new XT-2? And will you, or are you shooting with it? Thanks for your great video reviews.
seems perfect for cpu aio in front plus two 1080 hybrids as exhausts : )
I recently ordered the original S340 Black/Blue version and the PSU fan filter that came with it resembled the fan filter that the elite version offers, and not the crappy one that you displayed. Did NZXT update the original to be in line with the elite?
I was on the fence about getting the original S340 because of the crappy fan filter but in the end I got it anyway and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the case that I received had an upgraded PSU fan filter.
Great case, I just got mine for my gaming PC. Nice upgrade from a 6 year old Antec.
If this case and the base version had a 240mm fan support on the top, and intake air wasn’t only top and bottom (changing the sides to be open as well, like the Corsair Carbide 400C) then I without a doubt would buy this case.
nice, i just noticed your lighting technique on those shots, @1:10
ps awweeeee nzxt cooler woulda been nifty
also cool ad! books on tape yo
At less than $95 on Amazon right now, this case & an XFX RX 480 GTR will be the next upgrade to my rig.
Having a Corsair H100i GTX, and a 980 ti hybrid would I have a hard time putting on the glass panel, and would the tubing smash against the glass?
Just bought this case to replace my NZXT H440. Airflow wasn't good enough and i want to heavily OC my CPU. Can't wait for it to arrive next week.
Gr8 video Dimitry, but I got one question. If there is storage for SSD memory, is it for HDD too?
Hey Canucks,
I'm really new to this PC stuff and it will be helpful if you can do a full tutorial on how to build a PC. But if you don't want to, can you recommend me some channels or videos that can help me build one? Your the only person I can understand.
I really like the Corsair 460X case but it's too pricey. So, do you think I should buy that or just get this one?
I have the normal s340 and I love it but maaan this case is awesome!
What do you think is the best fan configuration inside this case with an AIO in the front? All outtake? I'm new to building, and this is basically mine.
I have this case with a Kraken X62. My AOI is mounted on the front, Intake (X62 is a 280mm radiator, and there's only one fan slot at the top at the case so it has to be mounted front). My top and back fans are standard outake.
Works great with 2 GTX 680 producing loads of heat (around 75°c each while benchmarking/gaming).
My CPU is a 3770k wich is known to be "a hot one". Mine is overclocked at 4.4ghz for now and stay around 78°c and my cooling liquid cooling at around 41°c during stress test, so temps are perfectly fine .
This configuration works really well with old components that produce a lot of heat, suits me perfectly :)
just built a PC in this bad boy, gorgeous case!
Awesome case.
Deadly review.
Dmitri, could you please do a video on cleaning and maintaining a PC?
I really do love this case. I'm officially on the line on whether or not I want to replace my Define R5. I love this case to death, but it's MASSIVE. Plus, that solid tempered glass side panel is sexy.
It's definetely not massive, even for a Medium case sizing. (there's no extra parts on the case making it feel bigger since i's perfectly square)
that dolly zoom at 2:25 looks sick! I've heard of many different ways to do it. how did you achieve that?
Does the tempered glass ad anything to the functionality of the case(cooling,noise redaction) or is it only for aesthetics???
Metal on metal for HDDs may not be ideal for acoustics but I've personally found them to be better at keeping high capacity high temp drives cooler.
If you're not bothering with VR, could you connect the HDMI passthrough to an empty port on your monitor? You'd need an HDMI extension cable, but you'd be able to connect a laptop to your monitor without having to blindly poke around for a port on the back. I think this case looks good, although I'd still prefer to have an optical drive bay.
Weird, i was just watching videos, builds with this case and you posted this. Maybe a divine sign?
Will a custom water loop fit inside this case? i have a quite big videocard (Asus Strix GTX 1080). is there enough room for a good radiator and a reservoir?
Please do one on the p400s tempered glass edition, they seem to be pretty similar competitors
I have a Phanteks Entho Pro but im seriously thinking of upgrading to this case just for the looks, what do you guys think?
i'm thinking of using this case for the build that i'm currently working on is it still a good case and will it be compatible with newer parts?
Where do you get those cable spacer things that keep the cables neat and tidy at the front of the case? For example at 4:23 there are 2 of them on the gpu cable.
Can't wait to see the white version drop!
Would you say this is the best compact full ATX case with a tempered glass panel? Currently it's either this or the Corsair 460X, what would anyone recommend?
can you please give the list of the components of your build? I would like to make it as a reference because i don't know where to start in my build. Thank you.
this case support 140mm fans cpu cooler? I have Thermalright true spirit power with 140mm fan
Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Tempered glass is coming soon, bless. I'm honestly more excited for that one :D
I wish this case had been around when I built my latest system. Not that I'm in any way disappointed in my Fractal Designs cas...but ain't in any way vaguely are gorgeous as this case. Hot dang.
How efficient is the air cooling in this case? Doesnt seem very good in my opinion. It just has very nice aesthetics
Does this case support Extended ATX? I have a Maximus IV Extreme still rocking the 2600k and the system still works for me just fine but I want to give it a face lift and this might do it.
Need a H440 Elite Version!!
If compared with the Corsair 460x, which one would be your preferred choice??
does it have enough space to put a rubbler layer for the drives to not have contacr to the metal?
Hey, have you tested the HDMI port on the front I/O panel? When testing my Rift CV1, it didn't work. No image, just sound. Saw a thread on Reddit from a user with the same issue. It'd be a shame if it doesn't work. Got the case mainly because of the VR friendly stuff :(
Not sure if they stated it in another video, but why did you guys ditch the Pros and Cons summary section at the end of the video?
Hi! Good video review! question.
how well the air circulates in the body?
Flawlessly. I have 2 graphic cards mounted inside + a Kraken X62 mounted front. All my old comps that generates a lot of heat stay at safe temperatures when stress tested (78°c for my 3770k overclocked at 4.4ghz for now)
Hi guys I have a question about the tempered glass. I was thinking whether the liquid screen protector able to protect the s340 tempered glass? I used to apply it on my Samsung Note 4. If yes then this chassis will become my choice, so I can easily clean the glass whenever it's dusty.
Awesome case,still wished it was easier to open like with a handle instead of thumb screws but still very sexy and I doubt most people would be going in and out of their cases often.
What is the music in the background?
Will the Kraken x52 fit here if I have a Zotac 1070 AMP! Extreme? and also if ever, can I fit the x52 at the top panel?
sorry total noob here. I'm torn between this case and the Corsair 460x rgb
I hope there will be an option to buy that side panel alone. Officaly it can't be mounted, to the original S340, but after my panel broke, well let's DIY that mount ^^
I'm building my first of what case should I get. Phanteks enthoo evolv tempered glass edition or Nzxt s340 elite or Dark base be quiet 900 pro
