pretty much

As long as there is some space for the air to go, and it's not sealed it should be fine. If you can't leave much space behind it, try and leave space at the sides/above it to let the air move out of the way vai that route rather than straight back

I've seen in a couple of local Intenet Cafes where they have hooked up tubing to the back of the PC, where the Fan is blowing out, to draw the hot air away. IF your concerned you could use something similar
