Plastic/Resin/etc. statues/figures inside a PC case.

SavingPrincess

Weird question:

 

Is there any potential harm with putting a statue/figurine inside a PC case? Static build-up, etc?

I have a foam poro inside my case.  As long as the case is big enough and its not blocking airflow you will be fine.

there is a theorethical chance if the figurine is dielectric, and not grounded, that dry air moving over it could cause static buildup, but dont worry, there is a higher chance that your farts will kill the pc than that :P

The question is, can you still RMA a part that died at the hand of a fart? Imagine the call "Yeah, intel, so I had some spicy Indian last night and started building, long story short, the 4770K is dead"
