I guess this could be a stupid question, but, how do they perform cooling wise? Like these tempered glass cases, have glass tops and fronts where intake or exhaust fans are shown to be sitting, and from what I see theres only a tiny gap between the front and top glass panel and the chasis itself, so my question is how do they exhaust or intake air if theres a huge bit of glass essentially blocking what they are there to do?

Another case released in 2017 without usb-c gen 2....
edit** Oh wait only looked at bottom case, though they still don't list if the usb-c port is gen 1 or 2
Jesus christ. I knew there was usb 3.0 gen 1 and gen 2 but I just assumed type c was automatically type 2 because it was the latest format...
USB formats are absolutely retarded. Motherboards have like 12 or more usb ports on the back and maybe 6 on the front there days...there is absolutely no need for that crap.
Why not have 6 3.0 gen 2 and 4 2.0 or something....
Personally I want a case with no front usb ports, the front headers get dated so fast and if you damage a cable or something over multiple builds it's just dead space anyway.
