I don't know the theory behind case design as far as computers go, but
in other equipment that I'm familiar with, the case design controls air
flow (via the fans), especially to the other components that don't have
a fan. The (metal) case also provides some EM protection. As far as dust
collection, it will accumulate inside the case (that's fan-cooled),
whether it's open or not. Don't know if all this applies to computers as
well but that's my .02 worth.

Just think of it as a "whole house" air cleaner.

Ok. I do have one quandry on the 'air circulation' issue. I was
reading the other day that, leaving the case open while using the
computer would actually allow more dust to get on the iinside of the
computer yet, that is what one person mentioned, that they do.
