People who leave the side panel off their computers piss me off! Computer cases are designed to allow peak airflow WITH the side on. Why you may ask? Just look at the way the components are positioned! With the side of the case on, air is FORCED to flow over all major components. When the side of the case is off, air will just "sit" in certain areas causing heat build up.
You want to take care of your computer? KEEP THE SIDE ON! Also, take a can of air to the insides every so often. Computers attract dust; keep them clean!

You should have to reinstall the Winwoes unless your hard drive died or the file system had become corrupt unless it's just Winwoes being a knob of course.

I had 70GB out of 120GB used, then I had to delete it all.
Even if Winwoes had gone down you shouldn't have had to delete all your stuff unless it was to corrupted to retrieve. You could have booted from a live Linux CD and copied it to DVD, CD, USB stick or USB hard drive. Even if that wasn't possible you could have installed your hard drive in another PC and copied all your files on it.

I'd like to add, don't be a n00b and make 1 large partition, make a couple different partitions, and give windoze it's own partition, and never install your programs into the windoze partition, and make back ups of your registry. You shouldn't have to re-install all that BS again, just windoze next time.
