Are those glass panels IN FRONT of fans?? REALLY??! :banghead:
I think that the backside of the 500X has a glass panel. No fans there.
Edit: but the bottom of the front could look like a glass something.

It's clear looking at the 500X that the top and front have glass there... this is going to be a furnace and those fans are going to be choked. There's some meshy stuff on the sides, but that's not going to allow for very much airflow at all. I've seen cases with far more than that which have struggled. There's no actual gap there... the fans are level with the mesh material. It's a truly appalling design for airflow.

Now, I know my eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be but can somebody please explain EXACTLY where all of this is supposed to be, because I'm just not seeing it :shadedshu:....

If these cases are the result of a "worldwide leader" who is "wielding their years of gaming experiece" to design a case, just imagine what they could have done if someone, anyone, in their R&D/design dept had actually tried to make something that was truly new & different from the same ole same ole lame lame rectangular boxen with some pretty lights and TG panels, oh my, what could have been... :laugh: :eek:

Someone in the developing team, may be of slavic origin, because "sekira" literary means "axe" in a number of slavic languages.
