The popular Source 340 gets a VR-friendly makeover.
Why have a headset stand/cable puck on the right side, when everything visual is on the left? Why route cables through and out the back where they loop in, so many years after Corsair proved it's a naff feature? Why on EARTH is there only one top fan mount?
VR-fancy gimmicks aside, it lacks too many of the basic features I'd normally require... possibly in an effort to force modern ways into becoming the standard, rather than letting what works continue.
I'll be passing on this one...
The stand is magnetic, so it can be placed on the front or right side. https://www.nzxt.com/products/s340-elite-blackQuote:

Except that the visual side will either face to the left, meaning an awkward and inconvenient reach around (fnar fnar) the case to the "convenient" puck, or it will face forward like my current build, meaning having to mess around behind the case where there is limited space until you hit wall.Quote:

Another case (pun) of a case with its primary cooling obstructed by a solid panel with tiny gaps at 90° angles to the direction of flow.
I can't speak for this, but I like that in the Fractal R5. It helps dampen the sound of the intake fans to the point where the case fans are pretty much silent.Quote:

No external bay for a CD/DVD/BD = no go.
i stopped hanging up my hmd very shortly of realising it fills with dust

I recently completed a build in this case for a friend and even with a kraken x61 installed in the front in pull config his temps are great. Lovely clean looking case imoQuote:
