BTw, doing this the PSU generates a bottom-to-top airflow in the case without extra fans.
WOW. So original.
Vertical mounting backplate included too, not an extra or a mod, making this case a worthy PC-O11 competitor.
PSU up top is fine with me, it worked throughout the 90's and early 00's.
If you think you can design something new and revolutionary, please do so.
By "few years" I mean the span of time from when they were making great stuff like Nine Hundred and P180/mini, to approximately 5-6 years ago, when they started doing weird stuff, lost revenue, and came back to the old formula (just like other legends of yester-decade, Zalman and Thermaltake).
Besides, I don't need to be a chief to judge whether a dish tastes good or not.
I am chief judge over whatever is on my plate. :p
This is definitely an improvement on having the fans/radiator trying to breathe through a slab of solid glass, but I have a CRAZY idea:
What if case manufacturers moved the cooling to the front panel, and added perforations or even mesh to the front panel so that air could flow directly over the graphics card and motherboard heatsinks?
On second thoughts, that sounds utterly stupid. Forget I even mentioned it.
