To keep the air flow constant you would need an enclosed environment. If you don't have good fans if you leave the side case off it'll use the whole room as the air source. It'll increase your room temp but I suppose it'll level off better. I wouldn't like to use my whole room as a way to dissipate heat so I just let the case do all the work.
