NZXT Source 340 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Interior

The interior of the S340 has been treated to a matte black finish that provides a nice contrast to the gloss white exterior and some parts of the interior. There is a large CPU cooler mounting cut-out behind the motherboard.

In the base you’ll find a huge PSU shroud that should work wonders for hiding your cables and the entire PSU out of sight. On top of the shroud you’ll find two 2.5″ drive mounts with removable brackets, as well as three cable routing holes.

Towards the front there is some ventilation, with angled fins to help drive airflow from your front mounted fans towards your CPU and GPU.

There is a good quality 120mm exhaust fan pre-installed in the back of the chassis.

There are seven expansion slots on the S340, unfortunately they feature the cheaper snap-off covers. This does help keep the cost down, but they also look very cheap in my opinion.

Cable management is handed by this cool looking cable cover. There’s loads of space to route cables to the back of the chassis, and the top section is enlarged to allow easy passage of your 24-pin motherboard cable.

All the pre-installed fans in this chassis come with 3-pin headers and removable molex adaptors for maximum compatibility.

Behind the motherboard you’ll find a range of cable routing cut-out at the front and top of the chassis. There’s a good range of cable tie loops around the chassis to help keep cables in check. Most importantly there is a vast amount of cable management space in the base; allowing all the boring stuff to be tucked out of sight under the PSU shroud.

Your PSU takes airflow from the base of the chassis and there’s more than enough room for longer enthusiast-grade PSUs.

Tucked away near the front you’ll find a pair of 3.5″ bays and below that another 2.5″ mount on the base of the chassis.

The cable cover is removable and features extra cable tie loops to aid with cable management.
