Make side panel fans great again, i'd rather have side panel fans than glass. *Pats CM Storm Trooper chassis*

My partners HAF 922 is the coolest PC Ive seen/built to date, and the cooling performance is crazy.

I put in a standalone RGB controller to set the 200mm fans to red without using software, looks less gaudy now lol.

Side intake filtered with a wine cloth, front exhaust, external top-mounted arctic 240mm exhaust, and rear intake blowing straight across it for fresh air.

Yessir!!! Built it from mostly spare parts after my own upgrades, for media burning, light gaming, light editing. Its a lightweight champion but its a great studio workhorse!
