Thanks for posting this OP .. but I had a question for anyone who's built in this similar sort of.. I think they call them "fish tank" cases? ( I could be wrong on that)
I try to avoid liquid cooling out of fear of the liquid oozing out of the tubes so I rely on air cooling.. and from what I understand if you don't have the fans directly in the front pushing the air backwards to the rear fan that then finishes pushing the hot air out of the PC it can be bad far as keeping the parts cool inside the PC.. anyone have any experience with an air cooling "fish tank" kind of setup? And if so were your thermals okay far as using I dunno say CPUID HW Monitor or some similar temp monitoring program?
(apologies OP not trying to criticize the deal by any means, cases like these are very popular and I see them in a lot of PC builds online but normally with liquid cooling for the PC)

The air will move toward your CPU cooler. Just make sure you have a fan on the rear of the case exhausting and only one fan at the top exhausting. Where you could get into trouble if occupying the entire top with exhaust. If the entire top of the case needs to have a fan installed then make the ones closest to the front intake so the air shoots right to the cpu tower.

I'm torn on this, and currently leaning against trusting this particular airflow design. I know if air gets brought in through those side fans it will in fact create a higher air pressure which will push air towards the back of the case. However, you'll have a hard time arguing with me that it would be the same flow as if the air is directly blowing at the back of the case. Even if you argue the same amount of air will go into the case, I can only imagine that it would be quite turbulent flow that may get pulled by areas that quite honestly don't need air flow.
That said I am more than willing to have my mind changed if someone took real data at these configurations, although considering different cases might be hard to get an apples to apple comparison.
If it helps any the Provoked Prawn gives a really detailed youtube video breakdown on the Corsair Commander Duo including an install guide - helpful for ignorant people like me who have never used or handled a fan controller in their entire lives
