will the lack of vents to release the heat pose a threat to the computer?

Not that I've noticed, works great and is so cute, get compliments all the time

Yes. There are times when the computer heats up and I remove the case. However, I looked up online and some site also said that my computer heats up even without the case.

I have Dell computers. There are no vents in the bottom of the case. The stand has vents on the side and only covers the center area of the computer. They are very sturdy and I have no issues with them.

Just make sure there are enough ventilation(cooling fans to draw the heat out of your computer, and make sure the heat from the computer can get out freely), and finally, put the computer far away from you so you don't feel the heat.

I have two of the double fans (total of four fans) mounted at the top of a closed closet (3ft wide, 7 ft tall) which houses our computer servers and security system hardware. I reversed the mounting on the fans so they are exhaust, blowing the air out of the closet. There is about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch gap at the bottom of the doors where air can be drawn in. The idea is hot air rises and is exhausted while cooler air is pulled in at the bottom. This seems to be working quite well over the past month or so since the install.

Get a good case with good air flow. At least 6 fans. I have no issues with heat whatsoever.

That was my concern as well as I have a home office and did not want to have AC or a fan blowing when I use the PC. This PC is very fast and quiet; and in respond to your question; I have never felt any heat coming from under my desk. Some PC radiate heat and acquire allot of dust which can affect the performance; I had this PC for over a year. Hope I have answered your questions.

That should not be too much of a problem. The top shroud should deflect direct heat way. Just dont put anything too close to it.

I have this PC in a small office type room. There is no problem with the heat generation. I don't notice any heat build up.

Possibly yes but there would be a heat buildup inside which would be caused by lack of air circulation.

negative. well. perhaps if you turn all the so that they blow air into the case it would be a positive pressure. I run the fans on the front pulling in air and the top fan and back fan so that they force the air out and my power supply sucks air in from the base and out the back independent of the case ventilation.I have two fans I planned on adding to the bottom forcing air into the case.at this point the motherboard temp cpu and memory are staying cool. I have have sabertooth mb that has thermal controls for the fan.

No not all. The vent just allows any leftover heat to escape from under the cover.

No. Vents have plenty of space - there are openings in the cage for them. I have shot for hours and hours, never had trouble with overheating.

No. As long as you don't enclose it. Only the ones meant for indoor use need to be vented.

From what I've used mine for it does get fairly hot when it gets enclosed. Given the built in fan it probably would be a bad idea.

I use my laptop while sitting in my bed or on the couch all the time. I've never had a problem with the vents getting blocked. It seems to circulate pretty well, sometimes so well that I don't have to plug the fan into my laptop (the extra space between the laptop and whatever surface I'm using is sometimes enough for the laptop's fan to circulate hot air away without the help of this fan, though I tend to plug it in after I've been using the laptop for a while).

It certainly is not airtight, but i don't think it has enough ventilation to put a computer inside the lockable compartment and run it for an extended period of time. There are a few decent sized holes for cords to run in and out of, but no real "vent. "

I think if you can dissipate heat without a problem as long as the pc has good internal ventilation also dissipate the heat produced by the processor, that is a good case ventilation.But not if the socket is suitable because it must have an adapter.
