Air is never stale in a good SGFC. That's what the holes are for.
Air comes in from the bottom and escapes through the side and top holes. Fanning is destroying the environment and causing the humidity to have to "reset" and draw more water from your freshly misted cakes and your perlite.
SGFC are 95% passive systems, the only 5 percent is us misting and fanning. Air will continue to move through the system as long as none of the holes are plugged up.

Actually, it probably would work fine with a bit of tuning, it will just end up being more work in the end...
I got some pretty big shrooms / half decent results with my mini humidifiers and air pump, weird as fuck hole patterns, and 2" of perilite... it was just a huge pain in the ass / waste of resources in the end. especially because the SGFC will perform better.
I was stubborn and ran out my first grow in my "ultra scientific doo dad fc" and I don't blame you if you run out your first flush in that chamber either, just take the time to make a proper SGFC for the second flush and compare the results... I'm sure you won't go back to using the old setup.

It would have been better with more holes. He doesn't have enough FAE in there. It wouldn't compare to an SGFC but it would be better.

Are the computer fans not providing constant air exchange? point inwards and directly at the sub would make things dry out fast, but if there was a small amount of holes in each corner and the fans facing outwards it would cause a vacuum and fresh air would get sucked in through the holes, no?

Not enough, he doesn't have enough holes to properly facilitate that negative pressure.

Lol I.know.its not ok and I have the fan running on a timer it's actually 2 fans from an.Xbox 360 a lot of air moves throughout the box and out. I wanna see how this goes I changed my timer so my fans run.more frequent and.for longer maybe I'll even attempt it again on my.next batch with a few large holes with polyfill

No polyfill, just do 1/4" holes every 2" and ditch the fan.
FAE is passive, you're making it active. Even running a fan near your SGFC normally drys out the perlite and the cake. If you want to make this work, even though you really don't have to use any of that, then you'll have to do some experimenting. Maybe 1/4" holes every 4 inches to make up for the extra input from the fans.

Update: cakes ended up drying out so they got a 24 hr redunk, FC was modified and is currently 100 percent sufficient and automated.I ended up adding 6 large holes and stuffed them with poly-fil Yes I'm.still using the fans on a timer but only 2-1 min fan cycles per day it's been roughly a week since redunk and the cakes are finally fruiting check em out

Maybe this is why people shy away from places like this sorry I'm not a fucking expert mycologist some of us are here to learn and experiment not get flamed by some douche but there's one of you everywhere o'l mighty magic mushroom king don't act like you didn't have trial and error especially a first time around.
