The 309 Gaming Edition Case - mid tower where you can play games on the front panel

InWin today announced availability of its upgraded 309 Gaming Edition mid tower ATX PC chassis, which features a unique front panel equipped with 144 addressable LEDs that allow owners to play three classically inspired games using its exclusive gamepad.

InWin’s innovative, addressable RGB LED front panel is a vivid display that’s sure to stand out from the crowd. Using InWin’s latest GLOW X software, it allows users to completely customize the LED arrangement in a personal expression, which includes creating animations of up to 40 frames,10 times more than the original 309. There are also eight built-in lighting modes that can be easily changed, while the customization mode provides a simple, intuitive interface. A new internal microphone can also react to sounds and voices with reactionary lighting effects.

Four premium InWin Saturn ASN120 fans are pre-installed in the system, offering a complete package for gamers to jump straight in and build their new PCs. With superb airflow-to-noise ratio and soft ARGB lighting. Users can control the Saturn ASN120 fan speed and lighting via either GLOW X software or motherboard lighting software where available. Each Saturn ASN120 fan provides up to a powerful 77.17CFM of airflow and 3.12mm/H2O static pressure that’s ideal for liquid cooling radiators. At typical speeds, they operate at an extremely quiet 25dBA. InWin’s patented modular connectors allow the fans to daisy-chain for simpler, neater cable management.

The 309 Gaming Edition provides placement for up to seven fans and versatile accommodation for liquid cooling: two 360mm radiators (3x120mm) and a rear 120mm fan, in an optimized airflow layout. The unique top chamber design houses the PSU and up to three of the fans, for effective airflow and heat exhaust. Other thoughtful design features include tempered glass side panel with tool-less removal, GPU holder support and dust filters that can be easily removed for cleaning.

The front I/O is placed along the side edge of the front panel for easy access. It includes an USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks and LED control buttons. Supports up to E-ATX motherboards with seven PCI-Express slots, all while cooling hardware like the GPUs, add-in cards or M.2 SSDs by receiving direct airflow from any floor-mounted fans, keeping them cooler.

It also either working against natural convection working hard to push the heat down and outwards from the case or pulling cold air inwards and spewing the hot air from the radiator everywhere inside the case.

Hope no one see's this as a recommended practice.
Not sure about this case, but natural convection doesn't really matter for what's inside the case when you start forcing the way air flows inside of it.
Even with a front mounted radiator with intake fans it is possible to avoid building up a lot of heat on the inside, just a question about how the "wind-tunnel" is set up.
The only thing that can be an issue at that point is keeping the room the PC is located in from heating up. :D
