So I was thinking of building a new desktop, compared newegg's high end pre-builds.
A lot of them are showing no case side vents?
also how do the fans blow air through tempered glass?
( front & top )
I just don't understand ? :(

im no professional but airs not traveling through glass there has to be openings under it or vent holes somewhere it pulls air from

my case has a solid front with 2 fans tucked away for my water cooler but theres a air vent / dust catcher that lets air into the tucked away part in my case from underneath and i have air holes on the opposite side/solid pannel

I mean technically air could pass through glass.
Just a matter of force/pressure of the air :rofl:

Even with those little air holes around the edges, is that still enough for the fans to be able to suck air, and push it to the back?
No Dust filters im assuming then? I normally clean my computer every 4-6 months anyways, so not a big deal.

So then my next major question is...
https://www.newegg.com/raijintek-calore-liquid-cooling-system/p/2YM-0002-00023?Item=9SIA66Z8A48166
Would i be able to use a i9-9900k cpu, and this liquid cooling system , in that case?

Or should i find something different? Prefer power buttons / usb/ aux ports in the front , but mostly on top if possible.
My computer will be basically be on my lower shelf of my computer desk, its a pretty open space ( its a glass desk) , and the bottom part of the desk is all flat black flat dotty wood.

The latter, EG no more pane of glass.
Though if you wanna see some cool shit, checkout how helium in its super fluid state leaks through glass.

It can supply a significant amount of air.
Shouldn't be a concern, however ask ^rikuo about glass desks.

The water cooling system will fit in that case for sure. I’d put the radiator on the top but it will fit front or top. Whether the processor will fit depends on what motherboard you choose. Just make sure the motherboard supports 1151 socket type and you’ll be fine.
