theres another reason we keep our computers in metal boxes.... protection from EMI and electrostatic discharges :P

Granted the odds of a shock appear slim, but the right place could fry the whole board. and it doesnt take much either.

My machine, with its panels off, is extremely sensitive... a slight nudge, or anything with an electromagnetic signature near it and it reboots.

Keep the panels on. If ur not happy with the cooling, put a hole into it and mount a fan. There are many solutions. but Never leave it open. its dangerous for the machine.
