Default Sleeving. Better Airflow?

I bought some sleeving today at Fry's and put it on my Ultra Kaze's. Not that I have to worry about airflow but I'm just curious... is there any other purpose besides looks to sleeving?

Unnecessary?
We only do necessary things.
Sometimes that might seem crazy or an overkill.
But everything happens in the Pursuit of Performance!

Airflow.

lol... for the most part you're right, but when one has 12 fans, 2 controllers, multiple GPU's and a host of other power/data cables, it can help to minimize the profiles and ease the "bird's nest" of wiring.

Keeping the open-area in the case open does help with airflow.
