For some ATX cases (IBM, Sunnygroup and Compaq,
maybe other) opened cover do not allow good circulation
of air. At my Sunnygroup with opened cover temperature
inside going up to 80C. With closed cover - near 58C.
Also small piece of sealing tape reduce temperature at 6C.
But i have very overclocked CPU (300 to 710 MHz), 5 PCI,
2 ISA, 1 AGP cards installed and 2 HDD(10000rpm), 70TrueX
CDROM and CDRW inside. Big copper radiator (handmade by
myself) for processor reduce his temperature at almoust 8C.
Also i force power and HDD fans to stop (with 5 mercury
termosensors) when temperature inside of power supply and
case less then optimal for non-military silicon base dchips
(60C) .
