Holes in the back of the case (Due to removed pci expansion plates) are safe for the system?

Hi,
first time builder here.
I've got a Zalman Z11 Plus case, and while installing my system, i've pulled off the wrong plate in the back of the case for the double slot pci card.
Now i've got a hole on the back of the case, and my graphics card behind.

I can leave as it is or i need to search for a replacement?
I think this is good for the ventilation but can be bad if a insect or other things come in.
It's only one plate btw, just above the graphics card.

All mine are open, never had a problem. Lots of bugs here in Oz and none have ever taken a pee inside my pc lol!

The real one, if your house has them then, that could be the problem.

you can contact the case manufacturer or any pc case manufacter (since those plates are universal) such as antec and ask them to send you a few pci plates or u can buy them from antec. also don't forget to chose best answer to keep the forums moving. as far as weather it will hurt anything no probably not however it does leave an opening for more dust
