Are these fans really necessary?

The ones on the bottom of the case... Are they still useful? Or just for anesthetics?

Not at all.

The 3 in the front are for intake, the one on the left for exhaust and to two on the top are probably for the aio.

The bottom ones dont seem to be needed, the rest would make sense imo.

There might be holes underneath the bottom fans, and at the very bottom of the case too. So perhaps they do suck in some air. They'd better, because it looks like that case has a serious cooling issue otherwise.

That case has a glass front panel, right? Looks like it.

Those 3 front fans look like they are right up against that panel, which means they are basically not able to suck in any air at all. Those side intakes won't do squat unless you can mount the front fans on the inside of the main frame so that the air can easily get to them. I doubt that there's enough room in front of the PSU shroud to mount the bottom one.

EDIT : Just looked up a YT review, and from what I've seen it looks like there could be enough room to mount the fans on the inside of the frame. It's not going to be a pleasant job with that PSU shroud though.
