My current case, which I've had for over a year, is very similar - glass on the front and both sides, with fans behind the glass in the front. I've had no overheating issues. Although like you, I was skeptical when I first saw it - seems weird that the fans blow toward a solid enclosure. I don't know why it doesn't overheat, but it doesn't.

It has a rear exhaust fan for flow. And a cpu cooler fan (stock Intel). Not too bad. Yeah, you can get more cooling with a hand build but it should be sufficient.

It was kind of fun looking at prebuilds and trying to find a good one for under $1k but I didn’t look long. Wanna’ see what you can find so we can hook Otter up?

I wouldn't be able to recommend a prebuilt.

I'm sure there is someone near by that could put together whatever parts someone picked out for $100, or maybe even a friend that would do it for free, and you would still be around the same price as a prebuilt but wouldnt have the cheap motherboard/psu combo of a prebuilt.

Plus I don't like the current trend "gaming computers" where everything needs to give you a seizure.
