Thanks for all input.
JR said:It depends on the design of the case, including fans and interior
layout...
Old airplane engines were air-cooled by airflow over the cylinders
that simply stuck out in the breeze. Later, cowls were put over
them to reduce air drag. Some intelligent people discovered that
a cowled engine also stayed cooler, and that evolved into today's
closely cowled engines in almost all piston engine designs.
However, those designs must be deliberately designed to ensure
cooling air to all the cylinders.
Likewise, an open case will likely adequately cool a low-power
system. However, in a higher power system, airflow through the
case has to be engineered to cool the motherboard chips
("Northbridge" and "Southbridge"), graphics processor (GPU), and
hard drives as well as the CPU. If you look in a higher power
system these days, you will find large finned heat sinks on all
these components. Good airflow over all these components is
crucial, and may be enhanced by a closed case with well-placed
fans.

Please do not tell me how to post. If someone top-posts, I will continue to
respond in the same way so there is less confusion in the thread.
Please do not try to play "net cop." If you don't like the way I post, then
killfile me.
So long-established Usenet convention is irrelevant to you?
Quit being so easily offended and calling people names because someone
took the time to point you in the right direction.
Well, when I used to send messages from my Difference engine..JR said:I started my first BBS in 1989, in a Desqview window with a 9600 bps
modem. Didn't find Windoze until '92 or the Internet 'til '93...
John said:I agree . . . I've been using Usenet for 13 years and top posting
use to be the norm. Before that I used the BBS with DOS based mail
readers and you had to wait till the next day to get a reply.
Then Netscape Navigator came out and the Internet killed the BBS's

I'm not offended. I am fully aware that top-posting is as
long-established a convention as is bottom-posting. Both
conventions predate the public Internet by several years.
Neither one has been officially established as "proper" or
"improper," except in the minds of a few self-appointed net cops.

Do you have any references to verify this? I have never seen any and
your statement is the first in over 15 years on Usenet that I have seen
someone state that it is acceptable.

Replies are always in *reference* to the previous article. References are=
alawys listed at the bottom of an article. No
one read's the references first. If you read a post and came in the =
middle THEN you can scroll down and read the
referenced message. It's backwards to bottom post.
