NZXT Showcases Beauty And the S340 Elite Hyper Beast

[Guest]

Based on the S340 Elite mid-tower chassis, NZXT has teamed up once again with graphic artist Brock Hofer to bring you the S340 Elite Hyper Beast. This is a one-time production of 1,337 units (Get it? It's leetspeak for elite!)

UHHHHHHHHHH And I thought LED-everything was tacky...

 

[falchard]

Yay, $200 for a black box.

 

[Somasonic]

OMG it's horrific! Must... avert.. my... eyes...

 

[bit_user]

Um, 1990 called and it wants its skateboard "graphics" back.

 

[why_wolf]

like trippy man.

 

[Glock24]

The sad thing is that someone will buy it...

Same deal with the H440 Hyper Beast apparently, announced elsewhere some 5-6 months ago. Minus the "elite" moniker, same number of units "1337" claimed built, same MSRP of $200 (currently 1 on ebay selling for $579.88, 10 lookers, no buyers), different CS:GO skin & no temp'd glass in specs.

The S340 EHB skin has a crab-eyed critter, devouring something? Maybe? Meh, NFC. The H440 HB's skin has a dragon-like serpentine thing going on.

Some other case manufacturers also occasionally find niche markets to exploit. Good for them. Sad so few are left even willing to consider sticking to a standard of excellence in build & quality materials, elegance & taste. There's still a niche for that, but left neglected by most.

How's this for niche?

I could actually see yacht-owning millionaire tech execs sporting this thing in their corner offices. IMO, looks a good bit more classy than their locomotive case:

Both of these exude craftsmanship, really putting NZXT's offering to shame.

Now, if I were doing a build on an unlimited budget I'd be quite tempted to use one of these:

Yuk ...

I can understand that reaction to the yacht and especially the train. But even the o-series I posted?

Honestly, the ones you posted aren't far off from most of Lian Li's offerings. ...but even your pictures of those blue LEDs hurt my eyes.

Nice sperm worm case. Like the sperm whale, the sperm worm is the largest of the toothed worms. However the sperm worm gets its name from actually eating sperm of its victims instead of a derivative of its scientific name spermaceti dracunculiasis.

The yuk is for the NZXT man calm down ... I did not quote you in that one ..

What is a hyper beast? It looks like a bunch of toothy mouths with creepy eyeballs. It's disgusting to look at. If they had the artist depict a bunch of fantasy creatures or sci-fi ships I think it would appeal better to people.

What is a hyper beast?

It is a beast that has had far too much sugar.

If they had the artist depict a bunch of fantasy creatures or sci-fi ships I think it would appeal better to people.

This is designed to appeal to the kind of people who spend hundreds of dollars for a texture for their virtual gun in an online game.

 

[haggismaninca]

That is one truly ugly looking case.

 

[thundervore]

Please NZXT, go back to the drawing board. Phanteks have done Tempered glass and RGB the right way, just look at the Evolv mATX TG

 

[Fiqar_]

Never was a big fan of corsair tbf

 

[Fiqar_]

Not that appealing tbh!
