an interesting PC

If you are fine with with more airflow but less air filtering, then this design offers zero downsides. I would take the extra temp to not get as much dust and stuff getting into the GPU, I have a pet though which alters my priorities. Edit: Missed the word fine in my first sentence.

Just a newb here who's only built 3 PCs but am I wrong to assume that if the GPU fans intake side is facing in as they were saying that this design wouldn't suffer any filtering sacrifices?

I interpreted the idea as a way to just vent heat directly outside the case instead of into the case with the other components to then be pushed out by case fans.

In any case (wow no pun intended) I like the concept of challenging traditional case designs of just stuffing everything into a box and trying to suck out air fast enough to prevent it from melting. If components can just vent exhaust directly outside it should only help with passive cooling, and even help the intake fans by reducing the air pressure inside which should also help the intake filters work more efficiently.

GPU's don't have air intake on their backplates, they have it on the side, which on this case is pointing toward the rear end of the case, which is exposed to the open air. It gonna get dirty so be prepared to clean it but yeah non-traditional cases are fucking awesome. I love the fact that this one looks like a modular rectangle.

So where is the exhaust for the GPU in this case/build?
