The Irid 353 ARGB sports three 120 mm fans and a fully fledged ARGB controller right out of the box, along with a useful fan hub. It even incorporates a glass front and side panel, which has the Irid 353 ARGB stand out from among a plethora of affordable mATX choices.

There's simply no way to have a tempered glass front intake that actually works for airflow, because the entire premise of a solid glass wall covering the fans is stupid.

However, it looks like Genesis have managed to provide at least some half-decent airflow around all sides of the glass without ruining the looks. Clearly people are going to buy this for form over function but at least it's not as crippled as other glass-fronted designs have been in the past....
