Glass does look nicer but the problem with it is that it is very tricky and expensive to cut vent patterns on glass. Larger SFF case makers have had trouble with glass panel pattern cut outs.The most feasible way to include glass panels is for it to be completely solid except for screw holes. And then offset the glass panel with standoffs to let the hardware breathe in cool air.That's where I'll be going for this case for now. The prototype will have some very simple top and bottom openings on the side panels for ventilation but I'm also trying out different vent patterns and getting quotes on those.
