Picked a mesh case over glass for my latest build, no regrets at all
I spent a week going back and forth between a tempered glass front panel and a mesh one for this new rig. Ended up going with the mesh because my last glass case made my GPU run at 78 degrees under load. After the swap, same fans and same GPU, it tops out at 64 degrees now. Cable management was trickier since the mesh shows everything, so I learned to route all the PSU cables behind the tray first. Took me about 3 hours of fiddling with zip ties to get it looking clean. Anyone else trade looks for airflow and feel like it was the right call?
