Also somewhat dependent on your CPU cooler since they're all the size of buildings these days. With a mesh side panel, a CPU cooler design that faces up from the motherboard vs. perpendicular like a tower is probably slightly better.
The whole deal with negative/positive air pressure , IMO, is primarily about long term dust/lint issues. Helps your case be lower maintenance and prevent blockage of mesh, therefore creating more heat.
For this particular case, I'd probably treat the side mesh as the main intake, and have the top and rear fans exhausting. I generally never like to do intake at the top of the case anyways since it's fighting the natural hot air rising.
TLDR : Big mesh panel generally good thing. Helps exchange air better from inside the case.

It's decreasing vacuum necessary for good pulling and exhaust in the back.

It's lightweight (thinner metal unfortunately) but feels decent in build quality. It's one of the smallest ATX case designs you can get at regular prices (excluding those niche $150+ case builds); a clone of the Jonsbo D40/D41 design.
At this price with shipping included it's great for a cheap build. I picked up another one to try and build a NAS box using old an ATX mobo/CPU. It doesn't have many HDD space built in, but I believe I can 3d print HDD cages that mount along the bottom on top of the row of case fans. I did some measurements and am pretty sure it can get 8-12 HDDs installed vertically with case fans moving air between them.

Basically, the clear front panel did not let enough air in even as it's got about a quarter inch gap on all sides. Now I'm just getting a mesh cover to act as filter.

Correct me if I misunderstood your statement. Did you actually say "any case" would perform similarly in regards to components' thermal?
