Is your machine nekkid?

[MaxDepth]

Is your computer(s) without its case lid? Ever since I started working seriously on computer hardware, I've had my systems open. My girlfriends have always hated that I had my system or their system open (hey, they either asked for help on one they already had or asked me to build one for them)

 

[crab]

Yes

 

[agnitrate]

Not because I like to see the hardware (gets really dusty) but because of cooling issues.

Huge house fan blowing on PC = performance!

well actually if I'm testing, etc., or building then I always have the side off... but right now I'm pretty set except for my new audio cable coming in, other than that I'm OK though. Thus, I answered no, because it's not naked right now

The cover to my case is buried in a closet. I have several other old computers on a shelf, not being used. Their covers are not screwed down.

Same here, cover's off when I'm working on the inards and too lazy to put the cover back on. But when I get around to it, it's usually not nekkid.

Mine is a tower you can pull off either side or the top separate, I have the right side over the Mobo open incase I have to add something, also seems to keep it at the perfect temperature, it's been running without being off for 1 minute even since I moved into my place in December

 

[woodly6]

No

 

[Gusfo0]

Naked indeed!

I have a Fong Kai and the side panel is a freaking b!tch to put back on, also for cooling purposes I leave it off.

 

[bzbee]

I keep swapping things out... The cover wouldn't stay on for more than a week anyways, so why bother?

 

[Electrode]

I would, to make it run a little cooler, but there is a lot of dust in my house. Even with the cover on, there's a mountain of dust around my RAM. I need to vacuum around in there some time.

 

[Nemesis77]

Naked. Haven't bothered to put covers on. Besides, CPU is overclocked, I guess it stays a bit cooler when the covers are off.

Right now, tis naked cause I just put in my new hard drive. Later no, My mother would kill me, I make enough of a mess
