Sandra is often inaccurate, but it's a good way to test general stability.
I get better temps with my case closed in the Winter, in the Summer i get better temps with it off and a room fan blowing in. Just see what works best for you.
Dust is no problem if you clean out your case at least once a month. But if you do any kind of pencil mod i'd be careful...lots of air blowing in from say a room fan, can mess with your mod if its not sealed and cause instability. I haven't selaed mine yet as i got case closed and it's on there pretty good, but i plan to.
