Curious how the bottom fans get fresh air, have to guess there is a gap at base somewhere?

Not like I want case, just question it.

I'm wondering the same. I do not see the appeal of glass visuals as you sacrifice cooling performance.

I'm also puzzled why we don't see chambered cooling either. Dell and HP have been doing it for small cases for ages. Then there's this DIY from Optimum that did exactly just that.

I wish we had a closed chambered case that we'd be able to mount an AIO in the bottom and one at the top with sealed sides, that way glass visuals would make sense.

Video makes me think there are likely vents in base that the fans are pulling air through. Glass doesn't extend all way down.

Also looks to be a smaller case than photos show.

My Ft02 had similar design... 10 years ago.
