Leaving 2 pc's on while On holiday

Noob question I know, but is it aright to leave 2 comps crunching while im out of the house for so long?

Both have stock coolers and 9600gts

One has a unbranded PSU - I'll put this on its side with the side off for passive ish cooling

Done it many times. Check temperatures and look for dust bunnies and stuck fans.

If you're leaving the side off then make sure nothing can climb or fall in - curtains, paper, pets, invading rodents, hand grenades, etc.

Certainly wouldn't hurt to clean them and check for any chaffed or discoloured wires.
