Also one more tip I didn't think about earlier....actually taking the side off your case is counterproductive to cooling unless you have a large
fan or other cooling unit blowing directly on the insides. As long as you have one good fan bringing in air from the front and one fan
blowing air out the back (other than your power supply fan), it should create a nice windstream through the case. If you open the side you
disrupt the windstream and the cooling is not as effective. Think of it as opening the windows on your car while you have the AC running.
Air flow is more important than air exposure.
