Not really, i've seen better. That Glass is going to choke completely the videocard airflow, and that's pretty bad.
Good design.

Top radiator is good. Then cases with glass on side usually have variants with regular/mesh side panel. For that size it has options. And that's what is good.
Secondly, that glass has quite some offset + is not air sealed around.

Usually, this won't probably, glad to be proven wrong. That glass is going to kill the airflow, a couple of centimeters won't make up for all the air. And the price point is way too high for this.
