The ventilation holes for front intake is quite little, thus reducing air intake and airflow. Why you think its a good airflow case??

Indeed, it's mesh front too. Input is okay. However, psu is mounted to top. If your system is on load, the exhausted heat will be pushed out by the 120mm fan behind and by the PSU, which isn't very healthy to the PSU. Fractal Design one is bottom mounted PSU, so with the PSU fan face down, PSU is cool independently without sucking in the hot air from the system during load.

Also to note, Tecware Core overall construction is like a tin can, pretty filmsy and it come with only 1x 120mm rear exhaust fan without any input fan.

hey thanks a lot man. i never thought of the psu air flow. that is a very good point for me not to take the core anymore. i dun mind about the lack of fan because i was planning to get 2x 120mm fan for the front but it doesnt matter anymore now haha. btw regards to the fractal design, how much does it cost roughly do u know?

the front of the case is full mesh so i assume its a good airflow case.

You r right, i see wrongly. Was looking at google images and it looks like blocked front with ventilation holes at bottom/side. If u can afford it, go for better value cases. Such as P300 for below $100.

If you are on budget, then P300 is quite a good case with TG. If you are very concern on airflow, then meshify C but more ex at around $149-$159. Have a make a compromise somewhere.

If not, consider Lian Li PC-o11 at $199. Quite good airflow, IMO.

$75-79 MSRP. Get from lazada for the free shipping. Otherwise, haggle from shop front and public transport back for few bucks cheaper but at the expense of your time. You weigh yourself which is more worth as different ppl different perception.

yea will take note on the meshify c. i dun mind spending on good airflow case cause i got bad exp many years back when i was using diy pc. WOW DAM, the o11 is a freaking beast sia. i thought the cooler master h500p mesh is the best airflow case but after i see the o11 maybe not anymore

I am also looking at the meshify c, i think one important thing to note is how easy it will be to clean the dust filters.
my current casing damn lehchey need to remove the mesh internally :s22:
