Wasn't sure if this should go in cases or cooling... sorry if I'm in the wrong place.

This case has side intake and top exhaust... no front/back fans of any kind... just seems weird to me.

Wouldn't the top of the intake just be blowing air right out the top of the case with none of it moving around inside? Wouldn't the air from the other two mostly bounce around one side of the case with minimal flow throughout?

Solution
Yes, that is a poor design. Probably somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the airflow is going to fast track directly in and out with little to no benefit to any of the hardware. Definitely not a case I'd be inclined to use or recommend.
