Lian Li PC-75 case mods. Should I nor not.?

I tested 2 cases ... both Antec ... both were the
SLK1650, except one had the side panel port ( no
fan ) and one did not. I simply tested the same case
with the side port, and without. With the side port
directly over the cpu fan, the idle temp of the cpu
was 38 degrees C. Without the side port, the idle
temp was about 48 C, but climbed quickly to about
57 C . The Antec 1650 is a light aluminum case,
and over all is about the best case I have ever worked
with. That side port is the reason why.

A TAC case will be good, one with a CPU and video vent holes. Most
importantly get a quality PS.
