Nah. What are your computer's temps.

Edit: I suppose if you are not using it then you could take it out but you would only get a bit more case airflow to cool the chipset down.

Well you could put a fan at the front of it to help cool your drives. This will also bring air into your case. Unless your drives run real hot this is not a problem. If you're drives are elsewhere and you're not using the rack then remove it if you want. it could help your air flow, but really depends on how you have your fans set up.

Not sure where you can get sleeves for your wires but www.newegg.com has most things and will most likely have what your looking for.

Several places sell sleeving kits, which is what you want. The sleeving kit will come with sleeve mesh and shrink wrap. Try tigerdirect, newegg, frozen CPU, etc.
