If i remove the window from my case, what kind of dust sshould i expect?

Much at all?
It is positive airflow, so there shouldent be too much, but what do you think?

My case with window removed:

I left my side panel off since 2 years ago and no dust buildup other than from the fans.

It would depend how long you have had your computer for. Different types of dust come overtime. Most of it will be near your PSU.

I would think it would depend on how much your computer is running since its a vertical window.  I would assume more dust would collect when it is off.  nice looking computer by the way, I can see why you want visibility

THanks.

is the case set or modded to be on its front or is it made that way?  I'm a fan of non traditional orientations but I've never seen one that way
