LianLi Compact Mid-Tower Aluminum Case PC-A05FNB $40 AR

Lian Li has gotten so cheap over the last few years in terms of aluminum used that there is way too much flex in the parts.

I've been pointing customers away from Lian Li for a long time and they used to be my go-to case.

I have a handful of their base model cases from 8 years ago and they are 2x as thick in materials.
 
i don't understand how the airflow works if the PSU is venting to the front of the case. Is the rear 120mm fan drawing air into the case?
 
The air blows back to front. I have this case and love it, but it's admittedly a bit odd.
 
it doesn't make a lot of sense for a high heat load, like gaming/overclocking. a gpu that expels air out the back will get sucked in and blown on the cpu, and *that* hot air will blow onto the hdds. this is just to make the case a little more compact?
 
How is the airflow on this? I've got the older version that mounts the motherboard 180 from this, which makes more sense to me. All it needed was a low speed blowhole, because heat builds heat above the video card.
