When it comes to computer cases how much different does the material its made out of make? Mostly in reference to cooling.

I am cheese. I am loved by all. I go great with everything. Other foods hate me because I take all the glory. Like Nachos..Their just jealous cause no one eats them unless Im there. Shit..I even ruined broccili's rep. Broccili kept talkin shit so I was like. " You know what?, I think I might melt myself on some Broccilli. See how those humans enjoy that green [sexual slur censored] now." Shit...Now,People dont even touch him, unless Im all over that shit! Ahhh..Its not easy, being cheesy.. Peace. Cheese Out.
Minimally. Airflow is a thousand fold more important, as well as proper thermal paste on the CPU and correct fan speeds. Generally, cool, outside air is taken into the case from the front, and blown out the back.
If you suck air in from both sides, the warm air will just be stuck there looping around. As far as case material goes, it would only help by transferring heat via conduction, which is slow. Heatsinks use conduction, but its purpose is specialized.
Yea that makes sense especially after some research I did on different colling systems.
I was looking at the liquid colling, but a lot of different sites say it's pretty hard to install.
And if installed incorrectly can ruin hardware.
decisions decisions decisions.

I wouldn't recommend liquid cooling at all. It's mostly for people looking to "rice" their computer system, and in most cases it's complete overkill. If you're getting something you think will run especially hot, get an aftermarket heatsink and fan for the CPU, and maybe replace the stock thermal paste with something a little better (Arctic Silver brand has good options).
But it really depends on your hardware needs. Usually, specialized cooling systems are only required when you wish to overclock your CPU/GPU. Stock fans and paste are usually well within acceptable options if you don't overclock, assuming your room will be room temperature and not in the middle of the Saraha.

Really, really overkill? I always thought liquid cooling was quieter than having a CPU fan, that's the reason I'm considering getting it. I know I don't really need it for what I'm running but anything to reduce the sound a bit is welcome.
