Apple carefully designs their cases for optimal airflow and cooling. Leaving a hole in the front could very well change the ventilation path enough that the processor, memory, and GPU run hotter. On a Mac, if you can plug a hole, you should.

I have a QS which I use as a server (3 internal harddisks).

maybe it would be better cooling with the ZIP slotted plate
