PC Case Front Ventilation Mesh vs Glass

[joaquin.e.nunez]

Is there a discernible difference or advantage to having a Gaming PC Case with a Mesh front vs Tempered Glass? Currently in the works of building a case and noticed that some reviews have complained about Tempered Glass fronts have little ventilation. Is this really an issue to where I should look for a Mesh front case or is it pretty much not an issue unless living in a hot/dusty environment?

It really depends on the case and the fan setup you have, but typically tempered glass front panel cases do have poor airflow (they can only intake from the sides).
So yes, a mesh front case has the potential to have increased airflow, but depending on full specs and setup, it may not matter.

Yea, this makes sense. I'm pretty much on the fence between the APEX Vivid Edition Apexgaming Z2 and the Aerocool P7-C0. I live in Washington and don't really ever have issues with the room being hot, so I just didn't know if this would even be something I should worry about.

That APEX case has some extremely limited airflow, even among typical tempered glass cases.
