help me buy a computer, you nerds
bicostp:
As long as you don't have anything like a big fat IDE ribbon blocking all your airflow you'll be okay.
satsugaikaze:
I've actually stopped bothering to close my computer case, partly because I can't be bothered cramming all the cables back in, but also because in case something goes wrong I'll be able to just stick my head under the desk to have a look-see.
Should I close it?
celticgeek:
I keep the case on my wife's computer open all the time, because sometimes she needs Windows for something or other, so I will swap the Linux HD and the Windows HD, and it's just easier not to have to take the side off. You do have to blow the dust out more frequently if you leave the case open.
bicostp:
Keeping the case closed helps keep air flowing the way it's supposed to, but leaving the side off theoretically opens it up to more volume circulating...
I'd close it, if only to control the amount of dust it's sucking in.
look out! Ninjas!:
Yeah. Well-designed cases have all those dust filters for a reason.
