I really liked this review, i don't usually to comment but man! u do a great review, not only about technics knowledge, but you show the details, a lot of details, thanks dude!
There's a matte version but it does have the red/blue highlights on some parts which doesn't really matter since it's still pretty much black. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146197
I like your contents, they're unbiased, very informative and practical. More power to your channel. One request, give us at least 2 - 3 videos per week if I'm asking too much. Thanks
Same here, the biggest complaint for me is the basement compartment and the back side for cable management. I have 2HDD so it's hell to even try to fit the cables around there.
Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out within the comments already but the 400 can actually accommodate 3x 120mm fans (not just 2, as you stated in your video) in the front and only 2 (as you mentioned) 140mm fans.
You have a great presentation style and I appreciate your in depth reviews. One other thing that I'd say about the clear side panel is that it actually shows the LED strips instead of just the glow from them. I kind of want a case that hides things like that with its side panel.
I've had this case for over a month now. I had no issues fitting 3x120mm in the front. I also had no issue putting in h100i GTX on the top. Just make sure you don't have huge RAM heat spreaders.
I was referring to placing a radiator up front, not just fans. Additionally, anything other than bare RAM would prevent large radiator mounting up top. These are the things I was referring to.
This case and others like it are missing the optical drive bay. Optical discs are not obsolete yet, so I can't see why they would be excluded. Of course you can get external optical drives, but that takes up an external I/O port.
Great video! Love the looks of this case. Only thing I could recommend is to set your camera to manual mode when shooting timelapses or b-roll. Auto will sometimes change exposure on the fly and can make it seem less smooth and consistent. Keep up the great work!
Wow! That was an excellent review man! It definitely is a handsome case. I own the s340 myself and was slightly jealous upon seeing this but I'm not sure as if I actually would prefer this case. I really don't like super tight squeezes for my cables and that drive cage looks like it would make me very annoyed! We'll see what people think after a few more builds are posted. Thanks for your time. Great info!
Just got this case and finished my build last week, it's amazing! It's so well designed that I would honestly have to try in order to make a messy cable build. The cons regarding the bottom shrouds are a little irrelevant as you only need to remove them to add PSU cables or replace the PSU altogether, which doesn't happen often. Drives are swapped in from the back without having to remove any shrouds. When building, install the PSU and close up the bottom before installing the mobo and you'll have zero issues. To me, the thing that really sets this apart from the S340 in terms of looks is the feet. They're pushed right out to the corners, giving it a pretty beefy stance.. the S350 looks awkward with the recessed feet.
Literally you're the first person commenting such action, i have to admit i didn't even thought it myself, is there any reason why no reviewers throw out the idea of installing the PSU/HDD first and closing up the shrouds before installing the mobo?, i just don't get how no one point this out before...
+Syvro i did check google but the black version is the only thing that was shown and nothing saying if or when a white version is going to be released.
That part about having a rad on the top part didn't make any sense. When you moved your hand up and down, you were being obstructed by the large cpu cooler you would need if you were water cooling. Otherwise, I like the video.
Science Studio Oh - ok. However, your lack of even vague revealing clothing meant I could not really understand you, so that is ultimately the issue, I feel.
If the radiator should be mounted at the front then would you recommend front intake and back & top exhaust? I thought radiator blowing into the fan would create hot air?
I have this case. It’s attractive and sturdy. I like the handle in the panel. It’s easy to work in, I have the best cable management in this case and it's my all-0time favourite. What I don't like: the recalcitrant shrouds, the difficult-to-remove front panel and the magnets on the top filter all came unglued! Would I recommend it back then? Yes. Would I buy it again? Yes. Of course, all of this is moot since you can't buy it anymore. Unless you can find one in good condition used.
This case is really nice but I still prefer the s340 as the window hides the power supply cover and it hides cables better but my main problem with the s340 is it is gloss finish instead of matte
are the white leds included with the fans? great custom color job btw! would love to see a video toutorial of when you do all components :) . Modding hardware is really interessting but, not many videos around :( . How is the 400C in sound level? . Great review btw. Subbed
Good review. My only issue, is your issue with the hard drive cage. I have the same amount of cables and I managed to route them all so they weren't in the way of the HDD bay. I don't agree, also, with your issue with cable management. Although other cases have more room, as long as you put in time, effort, and cable ties, you can close the side panel no problem. Apart from that, good review and lovely setup.
its a great case, my problem it that scratches aren't removable due to the side being acrylic. really annoying. are their any tampered glass panels for the 400c ?
1:41 you can fit a radiator just fine because it's for liquid CPU cooling therefore there will be no huge heatsink in the way :) btw this channel has really grown I've been around here since like 30 subscribers!
+GalaxyShockZ Oh I'm sure you can fit a radiator, but what I said was that I wouldn't try it! Even without the cooler, it'll be right against your motherboard heat sinks.
which do you prefer NZXT S340 or Corsair 400C? I noticed in your recent videos you change back to NZXT S340. Btw you do great reviews and videos keep it up :D
Just bought this case. Reason? Well it's beautiful, has support for all the hardware I need and I don't have to take an angle grinder to it in order to mount a radiator. -glares at current TT Versa H22 with tumor like growth at the top that is my H100i.-
Thanks for his. It looks stunning and nice colour for the PSU cover. I've been looking for a case which would accept the Asus Strix B350-F. Ryzen 2600 but the most important factor the cooler. It would be either the Cooler Master V8 GTS or the Noctua NHD-15. They all seem to fit with about 5 to 9mm to spare. Any thoughts? Great review.
hey, great review, how easy scratched is the acrylic window? As the one on my define r5 gets scratched so easily which is why I am looking around for another case.
@Science Studio how did you get the bottom part white to hide the power supply? even with the white version of the case it doesnt come with the white power supply cover
maybe the scratches you can get with s340 when clean the window. I have that case and is shit. Paint glossy is shit and Window is shit. Worst buy I ever made sorry for the bad english
just recently upgrade to s340 elite, really good update from Original one I feel like I'm gonna use it forever lol, this Cassing seems really similar, but cable management and expansion slot wise I prefer s340, good review tho
I just bought the hyper 212 evo today for my build with this case (I haven't purchased the case yet) and I am considered about the lack of space it would have. How much space was there, and what would be a better alternative?
I love it however it is a dust magnet and scratches super duper easy... i wonder if threres a way to get tempered glass installed into the side as a mod
I have this Case I love it, great case has everything you need however I removed the power supply Plastic cover thing. Apart from that it's great and easy to cable manage :)
bro bro how many fans u can put in this case including the radiator fans? and also which case should I get this carbide or the nzxt s340 (I want to put probably like 6 or 4 fans? I don't know but including the radiator fan, a fan that u can put in the back and front) thank ya so much bro!
The PSU/HD cover is NOT superbly executed. Would also like half an inch more space between it and the mainboard. Would also like a little bit more space at the back so that getting the backpanel on would go more smoothly. Lots of cables and all ending up in the same area. Got it at a good price and it more or less does what it is supposed to :) First case Ive had that has no room for DVD
Nice video very helpful. I have some constructive criticism, not hate. Maybe consider changing your Profile picture, it will make your channel look A LOT more professional. Otherwise, keep it up man. You are doing great
+gazmend hajzeri remember theres no optical drive. so no more using discs unless you buy an external. also i recommend buying the hue+. that case benefits well from rgb
how is its noise compared to others? Looking at a small atx case(was looking at matx orginally) but Im really picky about noise(dampening). I already got a itx case but I dont like all the noise. I got a really cheap (white) version reserved. But between the static(Im not that good at vacuuming all the time):p and no sound damping Im bit on the fence.
+Friedrich Steiner I think that none of the cases available comes with LED lighting at least in this price point. Though it doesn't have any you have to buy it separately.
I really liked this review, i don't usually to comment but man! u do a great review, not only about technics knowledge, but you show the details, a lot of details, thanks dude!
Thanks for watching!
I like how you into details without any extra non-sense. Thumb ups and subscribed. Keep it up! :)
video format just keeps getting better!
Thank you for noticing!
i wish the S340 wasn't glossy black. matte for life
there is something know as paint m8 ;)
There's a matte version but it does have the red/blue highlights on some parts which doesn't really matter since it's still pretty much black.

i ended up buying the NZXT manta. hopefully it's not shit.
Nah, that's a great case! If only it had mATX support, I would've gotten that one too as well
Benyamin Lorit
amazon just emailed me and said it's going to be here tomorrow. now i just need the fucking 1080 to be available for purchase. :(
I like your contents, they're unbiased, very informative and practical. More power to your channel.
One request, give us at least 2 - 3 videos per week if I'm asking too much. Thanks
Great comparison but I'm about to build my first using the S340. Next time might consider this!
Same here, the biggest complaint for me is the basement compartment and the back side for cable management. I have 2HDD so it's hell to even try to fit the cables around there.
I got one of these used for £40/$52. Waiting on other parts but I find myself opening and closing the panel just because I can.
Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out within the comments already but the 400 can actually accommodate 3x 120mm fans (not just 2, as you stated in your video) in the front and only 2 (as you mentioned) 140mm fans.
You have a great presentation style and I appreciate your in depth reviews. One other thing that I'd say about the clear side panel is that it actually shows the LED strips instead of just the glow from them. I kind of want a case that hides things like that with its side panel.
Looking directly from the side, LED strips are still completely hidden.
I've had this case for over a month now. I had no issues fitting 3x120mm in the front.
I also had no issue putting in h100i GTX on the top. Just make sure you don't have huge RAM heat spreaders.
I was referring to placing a radiator up front, not just fans. Additionally, anything other than bare RAM would prevent large radiator mounting up top. These are the things I was referring to.
I actually have Ripjaw Vs with the H100i GTX. It's a tight squeeze but it fits.
+Laxxium But the heat spreaders aren't very ostentatious - where it will make a difference is in the case of the TridentZ series, etc.
This case and others like it are missing the optical drive bay. Optical discs are not obsolete yet, so I can't see why they would be excluded. Of course you can get external optical drives, but that takes up an external I/O port.
Portable optical drive. There's your solution. Diskless is the future. It's inevitable.
Excellent review. I bought this, had all of the same problems but still love it. I do wish it was glass
Great video! Love the looks of this case. Only thing I could recommend is to set your camera to manual mode when shooting timelapses or b-roll. Auto will sometimes change exposure on the fly and can make it seem less smooth and consistent. Keep up the great work!

Got one coming! Its gonna be for my big sisters build. super excited.
+Rene Pena You'll love it!
I would've totally chose this case over the S340 if it came in white.
+Syvro no there isn't
+Syvro plus im in the US not the UK, i haven't seen them stated anything about a white version
+Syvro i did check google but the black version is the only thing that was shown and nothing saying if or when a white version is going to be released.
there is a white version

How did you paint the bottom interior in white? what paint did you use?
That part about having a rad on the top part didn't make any sense. When you moved your hand up and down, you were being obstructed by the large cpu cooler you would need if you were water cooling. Otherwise, I like the video.
I couldn't reach the heat sinks on the motherboard or the tops of the DIMMs, but that was what I was referring to .
Science Studio Oh - ok. However, your lack of even vague revealing clothing meant I could not really understand you, so that is ultimately the issue, I feel.
* Vaguely revealing, I meant - like a tank top. Whatever - vaguely flirtatious joke failure. :-P
Love your channel dude! Just bought this case after seeing your review
If the radiator should be mounted at the front then would you recommend front intake and back & top exhaust?
I thought radiator blowing into the fan would create hot air?

Hey man, great vid. :D Are those 120mm fans on the front of the 400c? Or is it 140mm?
are the white leds included with the fans? great custom color job btw! would love to see a video toutorial of when you do all components :) . Modding hardware is really interessting but, not many videos around :( . How is the 400C in sound level? . Great review btw. Subbed
I already have videos covering the painting process.
i ended up noticing 3 mintues after posting this comment :) . thx for reply tho! i like your channel. subbed :)
I would really like to see this case in full white or red
might be a little more stylish then s340 but have you seen the s340 elite with the full glass side panel ?
RoxerPro The elite white version is what I'm getting tbh
You paint the the down part?, looks very nice, what color spray you used for paint that, tell me please
but what about optical drives and all that? i sure love this case but when i heard about that.. :/
Does the led lights come with it??
+Limekillen123 No.
Good review. My only issue, is your issue with the hard drive cage. I have the same amount of cables and I managed to route them all so they weren't in the way of the HDD bay. I don't agree, also, with your issue with cable management. Although other cases have more room, as long as you put in time, effort, and cable ties, you can close the side panel no problem. Apart from that, good review and lovely setup.
It's a BIG issue for me. I had one inch of clearance between my hard drive cage and power supply. Not enough.
I would really like someone to build a top radiator mounted 400c. 120mm fan radiator that comes with corsair's very own h100iv2.
Could you elaborate how did you repaint the shroud in white?
its a great case, my problem it that scratches aren't removable due to the side being acrylic. really annoying. are their any tampered glass panels for the 400c ?
Hey, did you paint the shroud with PlastiDip like you said in your tutorial, or did you use other paint?
Keep up the good Videos!
I have this case n I love it. Great review bud.
Should Get a Modular or Semi modular Psu. Due to the cable management
Fully Modular ftw
1:41 you can fit a radiator just fine because it's for liquid CPU cooling therefore there will be no huge heatsink in the way :) btw this channel has really grown I've been around here since like 30 subscribers!
+GalaxyShockZ Oh I'm sure you can fit a radiator, but what I said was that I wouldn't try it! Even without the cooler, it'll be right against your motherboard heat sinks.
Ohhhhhhhhh ok
Good review Greg!
How difficult it is to route the 6pin cable for the CPU through that opening in the corner?
this case is now available in white also i prefer a larger version of this casee but the 600c is reverse atx why corsair why
Does it have a good airflow and temperatures with only fans and no radiator?
You Didn't say how many fans come pre installed and what about the led strip
You can google what I didn't answer. Of course no LED strip.
which do you prefer NZXT S340 or Corsair 400C?
I noticed in your recent videos you change back to NZXT S340.
Btw you do great reviews and videos keep it up :D
Just bought this case. Reason? Well it's beautiful, has support for all the hardware I need and I don't have to take an angle grinder to it in order to mount a radiator.
-glares at current TT Versa H22 with tumor like growth at the top that is my H100i.-
+TrueMegaManiac hope you like front mounting
i frickin love the aesthetic, this case is literally my backup case if i can't get the H440
H440 is kinda over used and old i wouldn't go for that
ChazzDesigns I agree, I once considered the H440 but I'm glad I went with the S340 Elite instead
What did you used to paint the stuff white in the case and do you need primer for white
Thanks for his. It looks stunning and nice colour for the PSU cover.
I've been looking for a case which would accept the Asus Strix B350-F. Ryzen 2600 but the most important factor the cooler. It would be either the Cooler Master V8 GTS or the Noctua NHD-15.
They all seem to fit with about 5 to 9mm to spare.
Any thoughts?
Great review.
hey, great review, how easy scratched is the acrylic window? As the one on my define r5 gets scratched so easily which is why I am looking around for another case.
All acrylic windows scratch that easily.
No space for DVD/BluRay drive?
@Science Studio how did you get the bottom part white to hide the power supply? even with the white version of the case it doesnt come with the white power supply cover
+My_Lord I answered your question in the video...
Nothing beats the clean perfect look of an S340.
maybe the scratches you can get with s340 when clean the window. I have that case and is shit. Paint glossy is shit and Window is shit. Worst buy I ever made
sorry for the bad english
Compra Venta Woah dude
Compra Venta the Elite version at least doesn't succumb to scratches as easily as the non-Elite version.
whats the fan used in front of the case?
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for checking it out!
How you remove the front panel?
please someone reply...why would I "stuff a radiator up here" with a "air cooler"?
Can i put 2x140mm frontal fans + 2x120mm on top + 1x120mm back ?
Is the lighting of this case already included or you need to add it by yourself?
+Vinnkuu Eagleman add it your self
Does this case come with fan splitters?
just recently upgrade to s340 elite, really good update from Original one I feel like I'm gonna use it forever lol, this Cassing seems really similar, but cable management and expansion slot wise I prefer s340, good review tho
Do you recommend Phantkes p400s or this one? I really like phanteks, but this is more cheapie.
Does anyone else have this issue with the case being that the front audio jacks are too tights?
the s340's acrylic side is extremely scratch-able too.. was hoping this would be better..
Yes, even 'touching' the S340's window will leave a canyon in the plastic.
I just bought the hyper 212 evo today for my build with this case (I haven't purchased the case yet) and I am considered about the lack of space it would have. How much space was there, and what would be a better alternative?
This case is just perfect... the white one especially
Having a hard time choosing this case or the jonsbo Rm3.
A big like from me to you mate. Really great video. Greats from NY :)
A big thanks from Louisiana for watching!
How do you remove the front?
What kind of paint did you use on the Shroud for this case? I'd like to paint mine as well
Roberto Salazar what did you ended up using?? i want to paint mine too. did you sanded it first?
how many meters is the NZXT LED kit? 1 or 2?
answer to me! fast..
How did you paint the Graphics card and is it a sapphire card?
i bought this case because of this review thanks :D
I love it however it is a dust magnet and scratches super duper easy... i wonder if threres a way to get tempered glass installed into the side as a mod
what screws do i use to install the mobo
LOOOL Greg when you showed your "book" I dieeeeed of laughter
What's the motherboard used in this?
Is that a Sentey PSU?
Great video! You should have more subscribers. You're doing a very good job
I have this Case I love it, great case has everything you need however I removed the power supply Plastic cover thing. Apart from that it's great and easy to cable manage :)
in fromt pannel is that small space enough for hot air to exit and fresh intake of air?
Aksshay Sharma Yup
What brand and model is your glasses?
can you run a push-pull set up with the radiator in the front, is there enough clearence?
Not enough room for that. Only one set of either push or pull config.
Hi, can you please tell how you paint the psu covers to white? thanks
bro bro how many fans u can put in this case including the radiator fans? and also which case should I get this carbide or the nzxt s340 (I want to put probably like 6 or 4 fans? I don't know but including the radiator fan, a fan that u can put in the back and front) thank ya so much bro!
How many fans does it come with?
I hope you make it big bro
i have this case and that cooler. how is your aiflow set up?
Could someone tell me what LED strip is he using for the Corsair 400c case?
are you able to mount 3 fans in the front? totally looks like theres room
Tuvzii 3 120mm i think
The PSU/HD cover is NOT superbly executed. Would also like half an inch more space between it and the mainboard. Would also like a little bit more space at the back so that getting the backpanel on would go more smoothly. Lots of cables and all ending up in the same area. Got it at a good price and it more or less does what it is supposed to :) First case Ive had that has no room for DVD
Nice video very helpful. I have some constructive criticism, not hate. Maybe consider changing your Profile picture, it will make your channel look A LOT more professional. Otherwise, keep it up man. You are doing great
I'm sorry, but my profile picture will remain as is :-)
i have this case its awesome
Is there anything you would change or something you don't like?
+gazmend hajzeri cable management can be a little tight but well worth it
+_ alchemik Anything more? if not then it's not a big deal for me. i am planning on getting this.
+gazmend hajzeri remember theres no optical drive. so no more using discs unless you buy an external. also i recommend buying the hue+. that case benefits well from rgb
how is its noise compared to others? Looking at a small atx case(was looking at matx orginally) but Im really picky about noise(dampening). I already got a itx case but I dont like all the noise. I got a really cheap (white) version reserved. But between the static(Im not that good at vacuuming all the time):p and no sound damping Im bit on the fence.
bought this case around 2 weeks ago paid £80 for it ....... and i love it can be a bit noisy but tbf think that may be my cpu fan
is it smaller than enthoo Pro m ?,
Also can i put h115i cooler on top ?
does it come with the LED lightings? or you have to buy it separately?
+Friedrich Steiner I think that none of the cases available comes with LED lighting at least in this price point. Though it doesn't have any you have to buy it separately.
no dude
s340 elite still rocks
it's so sleek and looks simple though great
As a user of high air flow builds, I would only buy a case with a 140mm fan in the back.
what are good high air flow cases?
3x120 or 2x140mm in the front.
can u do a custom loop in this!?
Can i add a fan speed controller to this case? sorry for the ignorance xd
