But honestly, what are you realistically going to do with that? Click to expand... Nice underpants gnome logic... Probably the best plan of action.

R Remeniz Fully Optimized Messages 3,390 Location England Jul 7, 2009 #20 Open the case if you want to but it will reduce the efficiency of any case fans you have. They will be pretty much useless. With the side of the tower removed the only fans of any use will be the ones mounted on heatsinks - CPU, Chipset, GPU.... Its not right or wrong. If the case had a couple of huge intake and exhaust fans then i'd say keep it closed.
