which is the better cooling system

1.Setup A
- processor fan
- smps fan
- pci-e card fan
- open cabinet

2.Setup B
- processor fan
- smps fan
- pci-e card fan
- a fourth fan

Does both setup makes no difference or has any difference ?

@Ravi,
I have been keeping my Cabinet open for the past 2 years ... nothing has happened.

Can you gimme reasons as to why we should close it other than Safety reasons ?
