Having a window side panel, how much airflow do you lose compared to the Storm Trooper (which has a mesh panel)?

I can't answer as to the difference, but I can say in most cases the Stryker is going to have plenty of airflow. Just note that it comes with the front fans turned sideways, which is completely ridiculous since it takes air in one side and out there other without cycling most it through the back of the case. The first thing you are going to want to do is turn those fans to face the back of the case, which is fairly quick and painless.

I have never used a Storm Trooper but I have had this case for over 5 month and have no cooling issues, im running an i7 3.5GHz OV to 4.4, and Nvidia GTX 680, 16gs of ram, main drive is SSD, and 2 additional storage drives 1T & 4T and blu ray drive with absolutely no cooling issues. Hope this helps. Oh and processor is air cooled.

I'm not too sure but i've had no problems with cooling with this case and the window side panel looks amazing.

Yes it is. To the best of my knowledge the Arc Mini R2 is only available with a windowed side panel.I own one and purchased it from Amazon.

That should be good. We have 3 inches at the top, for airflow. Nothing on the sides, and we have had no problems. Hope this works for you.

It's true that it interfere with the upward operation of the window. I was able to sand it a little bit to minimize the interference and I also applied a thin coat of silicone on the window channel and the ventshade channel area, this helped a lot.

I installed mine in a horizontally sliding window. It's a non-std windows at 34" tall. I just turned the fan 90 degrees and installed it inside the window sill. I can still open and close the window with the fan in it and removing it is easy with the storm guard. My standard windows are 39" tall so you would need to shim this fan with a 2" block of wood on the bottom. The storm guard extension actually extend to about 37 inches. Or you could get the Air King 20" window fan (also avail on Amazon) which should fit a 38-43" inch tall horizontally sliding window (if the 16" Lasko, which is made by Air King is any guide to the max extensions on the storm guard). Here's a pic: http://bit.ly/1hxnzGk Note the window being closed to the left edge of the fan. There's a very small gap there. I used some foam to fill it, but then discovered it wasn't really needed. For a 2100 sq ft house, medium speed (which is fairly quiet) is plenty to bring in cool night air.

You're always going to have problems with the back flapping partially when you remove the rear window. As long as you tighten the front down (and the midbow/support with the straps), you should be fine. It's just part of the design. Another problem I ran into that I found a solution for was the two rear side windows would act like parachutes and catch air, regardless of how well they were sealed into the doors when I began my journey. I took the two rear side window panels, and had a tailor sew velcro pile tape (the fuzzy portion) onto them where they meet the Bestop door frame and then I put Self-Adhesive 2" Industrial Strength Velcro hook tape on the actual door frame to seal it. No problems with the windows billowing since then. I hope this helps.

Airflow is great through the screen. But you can definitely tell the screen is there visually as it is much thicker than normal screens

I had to get a 9 in. wide case in order to close the side panel. Had a raid max tornado switched to a cooler master haf and now fits with some extra space.

No problem if you sit behind.. the hot airflow is towards front. Air intake is from side and hot air blows out from the front vents.

Hi Matthew. I would recommend the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2. That is the case I had it in. There was enough room to clear the side panel without it touching when closed and it looked good through the smoked window.

It would be pteferrable to lower the Windows that way controlling inflow.Unable to do so however, I am confident the Uzi pen could quickly dispatch a side window with ease.

I personally wouldn't get this over the one piece, because even though you can adjust this per angle for the window, it's very thin. So after a few hours in the sun, it get very hot, even if you try handling it at the edges its not much help. I don't know how the one piece you mention is, but if its thin then, I wouldn't recommend it either. Also you have to take into consideration the ease of folding it back into its compact size, which for this two piece is a hassle, even more so when its hot.

The one I purchased was adjustable just like the OEM one. You just transfer the vent from your old screen to the new one. The screen provides great wind protection ... even better when combined with the mirror air wings (from other manufacturers).

I have no idea what the storm trooper model is and I have yet to use the model I own. Sorry I couldn't help you with your question

no ,it only comes with plexiglass window and mesh window as an optional preference, you must provide your own power supply. All in all it's a pretty kickass case, I'm very happy with it ,keeps things cool plenty of air flow.

I don't think so. The top half and sides are mesh so there probably is enough for air circulation with windows down.
