Razer Announces Custom Designed NZXT S340 PC Case
Razer, a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced the NZXT S340 - Designed by Razer PC case. The chassis is the latest product to launch from the "Designed by Razer" licensing program, an initiative that provides for third-party production and sale of Razer-designed and -branded PC cases. Razer opened the door to collaborations with case manufacturers last year. "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 NZXT S340 - Designed by Razer PC case features an all-steel chassis with Razer signature green triple-headed snake logo on the front panel and the cable management bar. The compact form of the case sits two inches below competing towers with a Razer green power LED and underglow. This latest in the line of cobranded cases offers Razer fans another premium NZXT case with distinct Razer design sensibilities to build into a beast and connect to an arsenal of Razer peripherals that will intimidate any opponent in-game or in real life.
"We had great success with our first collaboration with NZXT and the H440 - Designed by Razer PC case," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder 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."
"Razer is a premier gamer brand whose influence on gaming technology is unparalleled," says Johnny Hou, CEO of NZXT. "Partnering with their team of gaming-minded engineers and industrial designers has helped drive us internally to push the boundaries of what is possible inside a PC case."
The NZXT H440 - Designed by Razer was the first licensed desktop case for Razer. Razer's history in the systems space includes its award-winning Razer Blade line of laptops and the Razer Edge tablet, which won an unprecedented three Best of CES awards at its debut. The company's fully modular Project Christine concept set a future standard for desktop PC design, earning the official CES "Best PC" award in 2014.

14 Comments on Razer Announces Custom Designed NZXT S340 PC Case
Razer fanboys will never cease to preach about Razer until they get their hands on a Logitech keyboard/mouse that lasts them 10 years; until then, all rhetoric is futile.
now you make me want to get a white H440 my etailer do a promo on it ... but ... i wonder if i would be able to cram all i have in my Air540 in it ...
nah ... i wait for the Bitfenix Atlas .... dual chamber for ever ... (wait ... the H440 is technically a dual chamber ... the PSU is separated from the main chamber :laugh: )
Jokes aside same ol shit with the PSU placement, sure i know a lot like it down there but if i ever got water cooler for my GPU the last thing i want sitting under flowing water is the PSU.
Other wise the outside of the case looks nice but are they really real pics of the case ?, they look computerized to me.
And for your comment about the liquid cooler + PSU placement, I've actually had this happen in my system and my PSU was fine. Liquid coolers tend not to fail catastrophically, so the leak is slow and the stuff has time to flow down around the outside of the power supply and actually dries decently quickly because of the heat. As long as your PSU is mounted with the fan down you're a lot safer. Trends are trends and top-mounted PSUs are a ship that honestly sank a few years ago.
My comment is 100% valid it may not happen often but why temp fate in the first place. As for top mounted PSU's well they will be back as all it is to them is a trend.
Yeah real smart lets put the PSU next to what the possibly the hottest dam thing in the case. Yet another reason i kept my case as this bottom placed PSU crap is just sheep crap.
Many thank you!
