Aesthetics or Airflow?

[anuyunn]

I'm choosing on what case i should buy, the first case has a front mesh and has 2 fans, 1 for intake and 1 for exhaust, the other case has a nicer design to it but its intake is on the side, and it has 3 fans, 2 for intake and 1 for exhaust and it also has front, top and PSU dust filter. So which of these cases should i get? (If you're wondering, I"m from the Philippines, and  i don't know if these cases are sold on other countries.)

 

The cases are the (1) Tecware F3 and (2) Tecware Nexus M:

What's your build?

 

Honestly the Nexus M will be good enough for any hardware i5/R5 and RX580/GTX1060 and below.

If its a functional component that sacrifices performance for looks then i would absolutely avoid it.

I would generall agree, but the mesh around the front panel edges looks sufficient, and it has two intake fans and one exhaust, versus one intake and one exhaust, so even with some restriction, it's going to flow more air than the meshy one, and it's positively pressured to keep dust down, a bit, plus it has fan filters, including for the PSU, so it pretty definitively is going to have better performance too.

 

So... The Nexus M!

Airflow > all , well , size > all (with size comes airflow and easy repair , got my 760t and i love more than anything else, despite plastic instead tempered glass)

I made a research for one friend and take a loot at this box (cheap on europe 167mm cpu (noctua compatible) all fans included tempered glass front and sidepanel)

My build is a budget one, a G4560 + 1050 ti

Then Either case would be suitable enough to cool your system adequately,. The Nexus M has enough ventilation to meet the heat demand, so if you prefer the look of it, go that route. 

 

My rule of thumb is it's okay to get aesthetically pleasing cases as long as they can adequately provide airflow to the system you're building. Anyone who tells you "Airflow or bust" is full of hot air
