During E3 2014, Razer introduced its first custom chassis as part of the company’s new “Designed by Razer” licensing program. The H440 was manufactured by NZXT and went on sale the following month for $149.99. Now the two companies are revealing another custom-designed PC case, the NZXT S340, at a lower price point.
“’Designed by Razer’ candidates are subject to vetting by the award-winning Razer design and engineering team prior to approval. Once greenlit, the joint enterprise mobilizes Razer's design expertise and product engineering sensibilities,” the company said in a press release.
The product page shows that the new S340 is a compact midtower, measuring 200x445x432mm. The case has an all-steel design: a steel frame with steel panels, steel-plated audio jacks, an integrated power supply shroud, and capacitive thumb screws. There’s even a grommet-less steel cable-management bar.
The specs show space on the front for two 140mm or two 120mm fans. Included, however, are a 120mm FN V2 fan on the back and a 120mm FN V2 fan on the top. Also included are filters for the front fans and a filter for the back fan.
Want to install a radiator? Support includes one 280mm or two 120mm fans on the front and one 140mm or 120mm fan on the back. If installing a rad, the front clearance is 58mm and the rear clearance is 75mm. The specs also show that the case has a GPU clearance of 364mm, a GPU clearance with a radiator of 334mm, and a CPU cooler clearance of 161mm.
As for other features, the case supports mini-ITX, microATX, and ATX motherboards. There are seven expansion slots, one audio jack, one microphone jack, an I/O panel with an LED on/off switch, and two “signature green” USB 3.0 ports on the top of the case. Other lighting options include the power-on switch, the Razer logo mounted on the front, and two light bars mounted underneath the case, which spills a nice “signature green” blanket on a desk’s surface.
“We had great success with our first collaboration with NZXT and the H440 – Designed by Razer PC case," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer cofounder and CEO. "Our team couldn't wait to get started on the next project that brings premium NZXT PC cases with the iconic Razer design to PC gamers everywhere."
The new NZXT S340 can be pre-ordered for a cheap $99.99 here. The estimated ship date is September 18.
