No, the first one sucks. The fans protrude past the front of the case into the airflow cutout which will give it the airflow of a plastic bag with a few pinholes in it. The leviathan looks ok especially if you bought additional fans to get both top and front intake and made sure to tape up any holes around the fan mounting itself in the front to maximize fresh intake pressure. Not great, but ok. The pheonix is meh, not completely horrible but the mobo layout is stupid. The rest are worse.

 

 

Here's a review of the Leviathan. I don't understand it but it shows fan positioning and it doesn't look bad.

Fan positioning is critical, and in the first example they do exactly what I hate; they put side vents in but dont give the fans ample room to utlize the space and put the blades right up against the glass anyways. 

 

The Segotop Pheonix is the only really "different" case, with a rotate motherboard layout. The rest are basically copy/paste of existing cases that got the sealed glass treatment that everyone is doing. Nothing unique about them IMO.

i mean with some modes you could make em work, the XIGMATEK OVERTAKE all you would have to do is move the fans to the inside instead of the out side then you have massive space. i did find a work around would be to revers flow so in top, back bottome and out the front.

 

other cases were the glass is sealing the front you would need to extend the bolts so there's a gap in the front.

Agreed, and thats what I always tell people to do when they have cases like those and they have airflow issues, however some people dont want to do that citing the fact that the fan mounting rails block the RGB and i t"looks bad"

 

 

Also I just realized the Ramsees 780 is Bottom and side intake not front. The bottom intake doesnt look bad, but the side and top fans are basically useless. Even if they do manage to pull in air from the cracks in the glass, they dont push it anywhere meaningful with an exhaust vent, meaning it has to force air in through a crack and force it out cracks on the rear side.
