Anybody tried running the "Overheating Machines" with the case side off for maximum exposure?

Also are these machines inside a desk enclosure with the door closed so they "Look Pretty" out of site. RAM memory and insertable boards should be taken out and reinserted at least once a year to clean the contacts. Of course that's with the machine turned off and the AC cable attached for ground. I have worked in the PC industry and only had 2 overheating problems in all that time
