As the title says, only recently i noticed my CM case is full of holes/open sides, front and top panels with all these unused panels and fan mounts. If i ever want to improve cooling efficiency/air flow inside the case, should i block all of them open gaps with (transparent) ducktapes as well?
Block case unused fan mounts for better air flow?

It probably doesn't matter either way. On one hand, you'll avoid losing your positive or negative pressure differential by blocking additional unused vents however on the other hand, if there are no fans in those locations, you'll also lose any residual heat dissipation that is currently allowed to escape from those vents/locations. I really wouldn't worry about it. If you have a problem with insufficient cooling, add fans to those locations. If you don't, leave well enough alone would be my advice.
