I'll just buy some Dell Optiplex for $200 from eBay, and then maybe trow in a cheap GPU.
I did that but the slim case didn't fit a GPU so I just have the door off and a PCI-E extender with the GPU precariously resting on top of the hard drive.

I bought a replacement cover for my case. No window. Cable management can suck my dick.
I specifically required a case with no windows on my last build. I don't need to see it, I just need it to work. Plus, I was too cheap to pay for for the same fan in black when the brown works just fine, so it was gonna be kind of ugly in the guts no matter what.

I'm the one that can't afford to build any PC 😭
Scrounge for parts and build a low spec junker PC. It honestly sounds fun.

I absolutely love both types. That's why I'm somewhere in between.
Depends, if it's all new stuff I'm the first one. If I'm swapping things out or cobbling something together from scraps it's the second one.
I do not deserve the one on the top. I brick my software on a monthly basis
I once put a huge room fan on my computer when the CPU fan died. It worked! I'm much more extreme than that second panel.
both
Bottom panel all the way. Expensive stuff dies/burns out at the same rate as cheap stuff, so you might as well go with the cheap stuff. The best way to pc game is on a budget custom build.
I am perfectly in the middle.
My pc looks like the first one (clear panel, same LED colors) but I most certainly feel like the second one with my rattling case fan that I never bothered to fix
I'm about to build my first PC, and I'm planning to be in the middle.
I don't need all the fancy shit I just want to build something (without RGB bullshit) that will last me a long time and run linux flawlessly (so AMD everything?).
I know there are sites that will help with parts/linux compatability but I lost all my bookmarks last week, and I haven't been able to find it again yet.
If anyone has advice for me or knows that site, I'm all eyes! (Would be "all ears" but this is text lol).

Definitely the bottom one. I have a totally black PC case and one of the case fans has a power cable that's extended using 2 taped together GPIO cables from my raspberry pi kit. There's also a hard drive in there that hasn't been working for 1 year at least

What about sffpc?
I drilled a hole in the wall and my PC is the nightlight of the kitchen. No noise.

I want to say the first, but it's the second
no glass, no worries
