Both have bad airflow on the intake side. The bottom one seems to have bigger openings for air to enter, so that's probably slightly better.

which one of this case have best airflow?

thanks for your help

Both of these are awful for airflow. They're also way less than $100 USD, which is not a bad thing but if your budget allows for up to $100, you can get higher quality cases than these two.

The S340 also has bad airflow. Al these closed front cases have poor intake, it's just a design flaw. Nothing that'll make your system overheat instantly, though.

yeah i know, $100 USD case is terrible in every condition but in my city its hard to find good case, maybe you remember i already asked about s340 elite but now they discontinued,and then the other case i think have more bad quality and many more and that price like $30-70 USD, i think this is my best case

my specs i5 8400 with gtx 1060 6gb and 16gb RAM

(sorry bro, i hope you understand, my english very bad)

The H500 is the successor of the S340 with better airflow for about the same money. If you considered the S340 you can just go with the H500. It will most likely be better than both cases you've listed. See the Gamernexus review video on youtube for performance comparisons.

I can assure you, NZXT and other good case brands package their cases so that the glass won't break. They have thought about that problem already, so don't worry!

Are you sure you've been looking for the H500 and not the H500i with NZXT's (crappy) intelligent RGB stuff?

It's hard to help you if we don't know where you're from. We might just suggest cases that aren't available or extremely expensive around your area.

Ah, you are correct! The front is mesh! The pictures make it look like plastic :D

I would definitely recommend the Coolermaster K500 then. It wont be as good of a build quality as the H500, but it will have better airflow, more than plenty for your 8400 and GTX1060 :)

ok thanks for your help bro, and then i have 1 more question:

on that front panel which one will have best airflow? 2x140mm fan or 3x120mm fan?? 

That front panel, 2x140mm fans, because that third 120mm in the case would pull most of it's air from the top I/O vent, and be much weaker in terms of delivering airflow. 2x140mm is simply more efficient.
