I voted for one side off, even though it happens to be on right now. 99% of the time it's off. I wouldn't have felt right doing otherwise...;)

they were both off until i got bored last week and put them on, and it has not affected stability, so I'll keep them on. Keeps the noise down to a "dull roar"

-damn I should do water cooling one day.

Next time I build a computer, I'm going to think "outside the box" -- literally. Cases are annoying, I don't need one. :)

I have eight computers in my house right now. Five of them have side panels. Three of those have the side panel/s off. Thanks for asking. :)

I have both sides on because my cat likes to chew the wires inside it if leave it off. That could be a problem ;)
