other than extra dust and noise, so long as you don’t keep open containers of water within spilling distance your fine.

Yeah.. It’ll probably accumulate dust faster, though

Yes. I ran a PC in the early 00s without a side panel due to heat issues for a good couple of years when I was living in a really hot climate. Just watch out if you have a cat or something that might investigate your new pc out of curiosity. You will probably need to dust more frequently but the benefit is the side of the case is already off so easy access haha.

Not recommended for various reasons. Most of them are obvious.

If you don’t mind the extra dust and noise, there’s nothing wrong with it. Also, leaving the side panel off can have its benefits. Typically, if you don’t have an optimal cooling solution, this will result in somewhat lower temps.

You are losing the artificial cooling loop that the fans where supposed to create in sealed casing, if the PC doesn’t run on to high temperatures no worries…
