NGL, when I used to build computers, every time a customer spec'ed a computer case with glass side panels I pictured shattered glass in my head.

Your 3090 broke that panel out of spite, and as a warning not to try it again.

Would you believe that I actually broke the panel trying to put an RTX 2080 underneath the 3090, and that I succeeded?

VM w/ GPU pass-thru, mining, or something else? Just curious why two gpus (yeah I saw it's an old post)?

In breaking the panel or installing the 2080?

Yes

Well, at least you have better air flow, now :)

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Exactly!

Actually not. A good design aims to maintain a flow which transfers heat from the source. In here there is no flow.

You are aware that the H510 (and much of NZXT's line) aren't exactly known for good air flow, right?

Taking the panel off, in my experience, lets more fresh air into the system, leading to greater cooling.

Yes, in cases with better design air pathways (like having mesh up front and up top), taking it off can reduce efficiency, but not here.
