about opening the side of the case
For maximum airflow, keep your case closed and make sure you have plenty of fans. My case can support 9 fans, and believe me, they're all filled with high intake/outtake fans. Case mfg's design their cases to stay very cool with the case closed, because the door on the side should not be open. There are several articles on the internet, two from Anandtech and Tom's Hardware Guide, that expressly tell users to keep their sides on and their doors closed on their cases. Just make sure you have a good case though.
Recommened Antec (OEM is a place called Chen-Ming, Antec just slaps their label on their cases) and Lian-Li.
