running computer with side case off

i'm currently running the computer with one side of the case off, not the side where the motherboard is but the other side. is this safe as long as I don't go sticking stuff in there? It's only temporary.

it's safe as long as you don't go sticking stuff in there.  better ventilation == less chance of overheating, so it's actually safer than keeping it closed.  as long as you don't go sticking stuff in there.

just don't go sticking stuff in there, and you should be fine.
