removeing the sides of your case would have had the same airflow effect as haveing the components mounted inside the cabinet.

The added advantage of haveing a case is being able to remove the pc if its needed elsewhere for whatever reason.  Upgrades and repairs are nicer too if you can do them on a table rather than haveing to do them inside your cabinet

Too bad it's almost $20 in shipping. I guess I will keep mounting them to the side of the cabinet.
Gambit:
Often computer cases are specifically designed for proper airflow. Removing the case will not always lower the temperature. The second thing to think about is electromagnetic interference. The case is the only thing stopping it.

I would prefer to leave it in the case!! :soapbox:

Plus I heard from a friend of a neighbor who has a cousin who works with this guy who's wife left, dog ran away, lost his job, and got the flu, all because he removed the PC from the case.
