Put the side back on your case unless you've got external fans pointed at the exposed side. If your case is reasonably well-designed, you should get the best air flow by letting the sides channel the air through it like they're designed to do. (Do you catch more of a breeze by standing in a wind tunnel or by putting a fan in your front door and standing in the living room? Why should your computer's case be any different?) Of course, if you're monitoring your CPU temperature and have seen it drop after taking the side off, you can feel free to ignore me. I'm just repeating things that I've heard elsewhere and never tested (I've never had heat problems in my boxen), but they seem reasonable. -- That's not gibberish...
