Ventilation Holes vs Mesh.

[nickdollahz]

Which do you think is better Ventilation Holes or mesh?

 

What are the pros and cons?

 

At first look Ventilation holes seem better for intake and Mesh for exhaust. Would like some input on this.

I think it would be the other way around, mesh blocks much more dust.

Interesting perspective. I was thinking more in line with which provides better air flow as cleaning your case is inevitable. 

 

Also we have different material mesh and different sized holes. I wonder how much air is being restricted with mesh right up against the fans. Ventilation holes have their own problems too especially with exhaust I would think as you are creating hard obstacles to redirect air. So more chances for air to be trapped.
