Windowed cases temp difference?

Anyone know if having a windowed case effects the temps of the parts inside the case? I'm pretty into the Haf cases but the 922 only has the windowed model in stock and wondering if that would change temps at all. Thanks for your help.

Academically? Yes.

Practically? No. Perspex is a poor thermal conductor when compared to aluminium or steel, but since you don't rely on the case itself to cool by acting as a radiator, then this is pretty irrelevant.

I guess the fans would be doing all the work in the end. Thanks for the help.
