NZXT Adds a Splash of Color to Budget Friendly S340 Chassis

New year, new color options

NZXT last fall launched its S340 mid-tower ATX chassis, an entry-level case intended to bring a premium quality design without emptying your bank account (it's listed on Newegg for $70 plus $8 shipping). Now as we embark on a new year, NZXT is offering new color options for its S340 case -- "Gloss Blue" and "Gloss Red," both of which are accents to the matte black paneling.
The case itself is made from cold-rolled steel and is purportedly durable. Be warned, however, that there are no optical bays, so installing your OS of choice requires doing so through a USB thumb drive or an external optical drive.
NZXT relocated the hard drives to a lower position in the S340 to free up some space in the middle and make it easier to build inside of. It also includes grommet-less cable management with over 20 zip-tie locations, plus a bit of space behind the motherboard tray.
Cooling is handled with support for up to three 140mm or 120mm fans. In addition, the Source 340 supports NZXT's Kraken X61 liquid cooler in the front, and/or its X31 liquid cooler in the rear.
NZXT's S340 Color Edition is now available to pre-order with an estimated ship date of January 14, 2015.
