airflow of a case, specifically the corsair 100r

[ceasar entila]

hey, i used a chassis before that had front intake directed to the fan. I mean in a way that the fans infront were sucking air directly infront of the mesh and openings.

but i want to build a new pc today, and new cases i have been looking at dont have their openings directly infront of the fan, but at the sides.
Here is the case i was looking to get. The Corsair Carbide 100r

Can anyone tell me about the airflow? I know having the air pass directly infront of the fans looks like the best but I want to know if this design is worthy.

Note, I wont be using any watercooling. Just a normal tower cpu cooler, and It will fit inside.

It will be the same you will want fans with a higher static pressure though

Cases like the 100r are trying to make it more silent without have a direct opening in front of the fans but it lowers airflow. The 100r is ok, but there are just better cases at that price for airflow and fan noise isn't really an issue with good fans. If you do want silent and good airflow, the fractal r4 is $70 which is just a bit more but also has air filters and noise dampening. If noise isn't an issue, just get a normal one with it flowing through the front.
