The only reasons I bought a case with a tempered glass side panel were its overall rating and it was extremely cheap. A similar situation happened for the Core V71 case I used for a Supermicro H11DSi dual EPYC virtual server and NAS for my home lab. It's one of a few features I don't care about but are difficult to avoid without incurring limitations like additional cost.

Back in my day™, I remember full super tower cases made from steel when they had 8-10 5.25" HH front bays. They were boat anchors and they were generally terrible at managing heat and airflow.
