How does case with solid front panel get air to the front intake fan?

[Herkulese]

There are a lot of cases that are simimar to THIS that have solid front panels.

I am curious how a case like this gets any ventilation to the front intake fan?

the bottom of the front bezel is generally open and the case usually sits on some sort of feet, thus the fans will draw it from the bottom of the case....thats my best guess as i dont own that specific case, but my antec and dell case work that way

^^thats what i believe too....i do have a solid front case but i drilled holes on the side of the front panel so i could feel the air

Yes, dremel time.

Add holes in the sides of the front panel, I guess that would do it.

Thanks for the comments.

yup, thats what i did with the cheap white case.


those fan mounts in the front are jokes. they'd be lucky to pull any air at all through a lousy metal grill, and tiny slit at the bottom of the bezel. not to mention the fan holders generally kill airflow themselves. its dremil time 92mm fit in mine.
