what is your opinion about such as case that use solid front panel which can reduce front airflow air


do you think installing upper intake fan would compensation the low front airflow ?

What parts will be installed inside?

Such cases will have vents on the side or bottom to admit air to the front intake fans.
Unless you have very hot components inside, I would not dismiss the case out of hand.

I would not use a top intake fan. It will just keep heat inside of the case.
I would not use a top fan as exhaust either. It would tend to divert the front intake cooling airstream up and out of the case without doing any good.

If the front intake airflow is not sufficient, you can replace the front intake fans with higher RPM versions at the cost of more noise.

it will be 12600k no OC with RTX 2060 and 32GB RAM, do your recommend such as components to be inside solid front case ?

I'm not sure how I'd feel after spending $150 and getting an acrylic side panel.

In any case, what is the ambient temperature of the room? We occasionally have people in hit climates who don't have a/c running PCs in a room that starts out at 35 and hotter in the summer, and that takes away some of the margin of a restrictive case. I'd personally never build in a case like this, but I prioritize my parts running cool.

actually this case is only 50$ this is why i want to buy it as it cheap and look nice but as you said its very bad for hot temp rooms
 
Both builds in cases without a mesh front. The 3800x and 2070S in a NZXT h510 and a new build with a 5800x3d in a MSI Gungnir 100R and will be getting a 4070 TI. Neither pc has issues with overheating.

I would not put a 7900x or 13700/13900 in the 510 or the Gungnir.

But the components the op is stating with his case of choice would run without any overheating issues.
