So I'm looking for parts for a friend and I've so far narrowed it down to these two. (Based on looks, functionality, customer service, and performance, these are the best ones available for the budget in my market).
The TD500 Mesh is ugly as heck. Meshify C is $25 more, Lancool 215 is always out of stock, and same price as this, and doesn't look nearly as good. P400A permanently out of stock for as long as I can remember. Corsair cases too expensive. Silverstone doesn't have customer service here yet so I'll have to ship it outside (hell no).
My question is, the 520 looks way better because of the front (tempered glass I assume?) panel, but I'm wondering if that restricts airflow. I'm kinda torn because the side vents look massive to me, and I don't think there will be an airflow impedance. Thoughts?
