the front panel buttons are weird but i think i just can slap some cables in them and make it run in a normal mobo, i like early 2000 bulky cpu case designs, i always scrapped cpu cases from the streets because everything new looks gaymey.

>>60764557
But Why? Pretty much everything already supports WoL
>>60764557
That's what I thought.
Looks like a neat gadget, but does it render the case button disabled? Or can you use both remote and default case button?
No troll. This is the best case ever. I don't understand why other manufacturers don't provide this high quality of materials. It just feels amazing and strong.
>>60764673
There are plenty of aluminium cases
>>60764673
tfw you can carry it easily as fuck with those handles.
You rarely have to do it but goddamn if it isn't handy
>>60757858

>>60764686
Yes but all of them feel cheap as fuck.
>>60764643
>but does it render the case button disabled? Or can you use both remote and default case button?
You can use both, the connectors have pigtails with male pins to plug in the headers for your case.
I used this when my case with top mounted power/reset kept getting turned off by my cat.
>>60764689
If it didn't have the handles I don't think you'd be able to move it
the g5/mac pro are heavy as fuck, and they sure as hell aint small
>>60764673
That case feels like it could survive a nuclear war, with a bit of modification you can put a pc in one, one of the IT guys at work did it last year, plenty of info out there on how to do it

>>60764958
Yeah don't put glass on concrete, cement, or similar hard surfaces. Shit cracks instantly.
>>60764985
The fans have separate led connectors from fan, so if you don't want any lightup that can be turned off.
There is a hub on the back of mobo for that bellow the SSD holders.

>The fans have separate led connectors from fan, so if you don't want any lightup that can be turned off.
Well yeah, you can turn off any LED with enough effort, but the same way you easily switch the colors (button on the case or whatever) is there an option for off?
>>60765010

>>60765010

>>60765087
Right. Doesn't seem like there's a way to turn them off, only cycle colors/speed/effect like breathing.
>>60765194
ah that's a deal-breaker for me.
Objectively the base case in existence
No meme windows or RGB, fantastically compact yet still fits a shitton of stuff with excellent airflow (including space for water cooling radiators and blocks), brutalist utilitarian design that doesn't look like you bought your PC as a fashion statement.
>>60765217
Aaand I forgot the picture
I honestly can't recommend the thermaltake core 9, or others in that series more. The image shows the gaudy if I put LEDs everywhere version but it comes with no LEDs on it outside of the hard drive and power indicator. The only thing I don't like about it is the window but I can get over that. Outside of that it's the best case I've ever worked with.

NO case is worth paying more than $150 for.
>>60767846
Wrong
>>60757983
what case is that
>>60767846
Except for the best case in existence
You're literally never going to want to upgrade or change it, because the design is basically perfect. It's even the perfect size, maximising airflow and component capacity while minimising dimensions, so you'll never get tired of your bulky turd and decide to get something smaller, nor will you ever run out of slots and want something bigger. It's not flashy and does not rely on any design gimmicks. It's a premium case so it's pretty unlikely you'll need to replace it due to a malfunction any time soon.
In short, it's a case that you'll probably keep for decades. $250 is a fair price for that. It's on the higher end, but it's still not overpriced like some memes out there.
Of course, if you're doing a limited-budget build (e.g. under $1000 or something) you probably can't spare that much, nor would you purchase multiple of this case if you keep several builds around. It's really something you'd get for your main PC, and then keep forever.
>>60767938
Or you can buy an $80 case that does the same thing for less than half the price.
$250 cases are for retards with too much money
>>60768690
No, they're for people that like the $250 case and are willing to spend money on it
>>60765314
I have this case. The plexiglass on that scratches so easily. The exposed perforation on top of the case lets a lot of dust fall in vertically. It's roomy and cable management is easy, but I regret buying it.
Also the plastic sliding HDD holders suck. They can break easily and they sometimes you have to tap on the case to stop the HDD vibrations from resonating through the entire case making a buzzing noise.
>>60768690
>Or you can buy an $80 case that does the same thing for less than half the price
Show me one.
I'm not saying there are no good cheap cases, I'm just saying they're worse than the Fortress 2. So show me one that "does the same thing" for cheaper.
>>60768750
If you wanted a quality dual compartment case, you should've gone with the Bullet BH7 from Caselabs. Solid aluminum, tiny footprint, still fits all the important hardware that the Air540 could.
And be glad you got the 540 rather than the 240. The 240 sucks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTJ0osmQyzU
While the 540 had steel sidepanels (but plastic windows) the 240's side panels were entirely flimsy plastic. The kind that wobbles as you hold it in one hand and move it back and forth in the air.

Internal drive cage, with two hot swap drive bays at the front. So that's 5 drives
Then if that's still not enough you can get pic related for another two or three drives. And now you have added an intake fan for the two exhausts.
Plus the entire underside of the motherboard tray for mounting ssds.
With easy cable management, large PSU accommodation, and the ability to strip the sides off for a test bench set up.
And that's not even going in to the mod potential of a nearly all steel case.

bigass square cases make no sense for 99% of people. the tower works because it's a space efficient shape considering people's desk/room space. square cases just take up too much space to do nothing a tower can't with less. minimal horizontal footprint is more important than vertical.

They may not be the most essential feature, but they are by no means "completely useless", and extra expansion options absolutely do not hurt. It really doesn't ruin the aesthetic either. If you want a minimalist flat turd get one of the corsair memes, or fractal design or whatever.
>>60776706
>you still get a tiny screen
A 17'' laptop is more than big enough. Keep in mind you will be sitting much closer to the screen than when using a desktop, so at something like 24'' you'd need to actually move your head around to see the edges.
>tfw fell for this meme
I mean it's a good case, it's definitely on the "huge" end so there's plenty of space to manoeuvre and my completely overkill liquid cooler radiator fits extremely comfortably, but I'm not using half the expansion slots, it takes up so much space, and it looks extremely tacky after the novelty wore off.
My sound card does have a floodlight-tier red led for some reason so that makes my build themed I guess. It was completely unintentional but at least it allows me to go full autism.
It's [current year] and I'm still rocking the Cooler Master Centurion 534.

I don't have that case, but here's what I've got right now.
I used to have another CD drive, but I ripped it out for use in an ad-hoc RasPi setup at one point. The bottom two slots are in fact SATA hotswap bays.
I also use an all-in-one water cooler, and all my fans are set to a curve in my mobo's BIOS. But people do build custom water loops, you know. I also only have three drives, and then only because for some reason I thought a 1TB HDD would be enough and then got another one when space started running out - if you have a RAID setup, extra drive bays are also nice.

If you have at least one friend, who you can go to on a weekend and gaym some with, then this case is perfect, you can fit 4 infants in it and it has some weight to it, mine is around 30kg right now, so you get at least some lifting.
It looks really good too, so does its predecessor to say the least.

So yeah
the s340 has a GREAT design, but that doesn't mean it's worth 100 bucks with a glass side panel.
Only fucking retards fall for this.
