I am watching a year old video review by Robeytech on YT. I also looked at thermaltake trying to make sense of something confusing me. In the YT review the seems to be some indication of air entering the chassis from the front and bottom and exiting the back and top. Okay, but the front has this tempered glass that to me acts like a solid wall. looking at this part of the case with fans performing intake task seems to not be very able to pull cool air from outside of the cabinet and instead more likely to suck warm air from around the fans mounted just behind the glass front panel. Am I wrong in this aspect? Also, someone pointed out that with the glass panel installed at top would probable create a hot pocket of air as again any naturally rising warm air of fan drive airflow is impeded by this glass wall.

Am I nuts? Mind you I am autistic so please treat my mis-wired brain with kid gloves, please. :p

Never mind. Watching the review a few minutes more identified the glass starving the interior of fresh air. Haha

That front intake doesn't seem efficient with those glass panels up front and the little gap you have around the side.
You will probably need a strong static fan to get around that.

Found myself inside a Microcenter. Heck, I was unattended by the mrs. How dangerous is that? Anyway, I got to see this and was impressed. I wondered how difficult it would be to fabricate extensions like standoffs to increase the gap. Anyway, I got, but not sure if I'll keep, the Hyte Y60.
