NZXT Source 340 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Complete System

The NZXT Source 340 is really easy to work with in general, but it’s certainly a little different that most chassis. First I installed the PSU under the shroud, ready to pre-route cables prior to installing all other major components.

Hard drives installed in the rear section of the chassis.

Turning the case around you can see I’ve got everything installed. The total build time was just 30 minutes, which is about my average time for a mid-tower build. The chassis is fairly easy to work with and having the PSU and some of the storage tucked away under the shroud is a blessing when it comes to cable management; look how clear this front section is!

Our ADATA 128GB SSD screwed straight into the bracket with ease and there is plenty of space behind it to route cables both to the drive and to the bottom edge of the motherboard. There is also a small routing hole to the right; this is perfect for routing cables to graphics cards.

GPU clearance simply isn’t an issue, the Sapphire R9 270X is no small card, but there is a vast amount of space for a much longer card should you need one.

The cable cover working perfectly. I had my doubts about this cover, but I think it actually looks neater than grommets and it’s a lot more capable at handing cables.

Loads of clearance around the motherboard for good airflow, good news if you have a large CPU cooler or a rear mounted radiator.

Even with our long graphics card installed, there is still plenty of room for a thick radiator setup in the front panel.

With the side panel back in place you can really appreciate just how clear that window really is; that extra tidy cable management really pays off here.

Overall a very sleek and nice looking build, certainly a very good chassis for those who love to show off the interior of their rig.
