as subject, are you let your pc case open or closed ? , for me all my pcs are open cases, I use only the psu and frame, and my computer peripherrals become so dusty and dirty, but it is ok, my old computer still can hold with this, no negativ effect, except it looks dirty.

No, I let my computer closed case. I think the different between the opened and the closed is just the heat. Opened case usually cooler than closed case. The dust I think will be the same, because the fan will blow up the dust from outside the casing to inside. Well, u can buy a vacuum cleaner then use it. I think the there will be no problem at all. Note: be careful if "something" go inside your computer and make a nest there ^_^

They're all open for me. Since it's always hot where I am, all my computers' left side panels are always open. Even with good fans inside, if I close the case they'll overheat from time to time. So i keep them open hehe.

I leave them closed since I already have cooling kits installed in all of them. When I didn't have a cooling kit I left them open and it was constantly dusty.

yeah, it's make us more feel safe about the air circulation, especially when we let the computer turn on for a long period.

Generally, I keep my pc case closed. I open it only during hot summer days, for extra ventilation

I typically leave mine open. I think it runs cooler this way and I work on others PCs so I need to swap parts, just makes it easier.

Letting the casing open is an absolute no no for me, the amount of dust getting into the pc is so much and cleaning it is also a hassle

yes it's true, leave your computer case open is just like collecting a whole room dust in a single computer case, mee too my computer is full of dust all of them just the same.
