Is your computer(s) without its case lid? Ever since I started working seriously on computer hardware, I've had my systems open. My girlfriends have always hated that I had my system or their system open (hey, they either asked for help on one they already had or asked me to build one for them)
 
Not because I like to see the hardware (gets really dusty) but because of cooling issues.

Huge house fan blowing on PC = performance! 🙂

well actually if I'm testing, etc., or building then I always have the side off... but right now I'm pretty set except for my new audio cable coming in, other than that I'm OK though. Thus, I answered no, because it's not naked right now 😀
 
The cover to my case is buried in a closet. I have several other old computers on a shelf, not being used. Their covers are not screwed down.
 
Same here, cover's off when I'm working on the inards and too lazy to put the cover back on. But when I get around to it, it's usually not nekkid. 😉
 
Mine is a tower you can pull off either side or the top separate, I have the right side over the Mobo open incase I have to add something, also seems to keep it at the perfect temperature, it's been running without being off for 1 minute even since I moved into my place in December 🙂
 
Naked indeed!

I have a Fong Kai and the side panel is a freaking b!tch to put back on, also for cooling purposes I leave it off.
 
I keep swapping things out... The cover wouldn't stay on for more than a week anyways, so why bother?
 
I would, to make it run a little cooler, but there is a lot of dust in my house. Even with the cover on, there's a mountain of dust around my RAM. I need to vacuum around in there some time.
 
Naked. Haven't bothered to put covers on. Besides, CPU is overclocked, I guess it stays a bit cooler when the covers are off.
 
Right now, tis naked cause I just put in my new hard drive. Later no, My mother would kill me, I make enough of a mess😉
