*** Jump to the end, thread turned from Glass front case, to mesh design. Thanks ! ***
Hey gang,
So i have been spinning around and watching Gamers Nexus vids and reading articles for like a week or so and i was wondering if anyone had opinions on the ones im starting to circle around. I saw a darkFlash Phantom and wanted it so bad, but after digging im worried about thermals. I know steve said 1 inch space on a glass front for air flow and that i can use mobo risers to get that clearance, but i dunno. Id love a glass front with ARGB, but if there isnt one that has at least usable thermals, ill just go mesh i guess.
Ive dug through all the glass fronts i could find and just good cases in general and this is the list i have. Thanks for any feedback, all are welcome.
Thanks !

- darkFlash Phantom Black - This is the one i want. But im really worried about the thermals, the front glass plate looks really close. I think even for a glass front, the airflow might be too bad. The fans seem low CFM also.
- Spectra D100 - This one might be a compromise on the style i want and the airflow. The mesh isnt the look i want, but its hard to deny how good the airflow is and it does come with ringed RGB lights.
- CULLINAN V500 RGB - This one i just like the case. Probably have to put new ARGB light system in so it syncs with my Tomahawk max, but the style is good and i like the air vents down the side. Kind of the pretty of the darkFlash, but with better cooling ?
- Cooler Master MasterBox NR600 - Another good in between ? Glass side, mesh front but allows a lot of see through, so pretty and still functional. Probably for the low price i would gut the fans and put ones in that work with rgb fusion/etc
Thanks !
