Bro, y sad? :)

I build my custom watercooling rig with it and i tore it down within 2 months.

Terrible airflow and regreted. Its beautiful, sleek and nice quality. But the air flow in that case is just terrible. To the extent that im getting the same temps as air cooled.

Which case with this kind of front cover with little to none air vent has good air flow though?

Those with better airflow usually have mesh infront, or got huge gap between the panels and intakes like corsair x570.

There is actually. It really depends on the case structure and how it is being designed. There are many other ways that a case can draw fresh air in. Not necessary to draw from the front.

That is how i landed on the PC-O11 from lian li. Which pulls in from the bottom to the top, or draws from the second chamber.

I think just like many other tech reviewers. The case design plays a important role. Doesnt mean it looks good = practical. Learnt an expensive lesson lol.

The bad point about enthoo evolv atx is the spacing between the top cover to the top rad. The large gap causes the hot air to recirculate it back to the case. Also partly because the vent holes for the top is far too small for heat to exhaust.
