will a replica car model damage PC components?

melias24

Hey guys, so i say someone's build and he put a car in there, and it makes me want to put a car in my build, question is can it damage components? (short them out etc, not physically damage them) I was thinking 1:24 scale yellow and black mustang or something along those lines, and maybe put LED strips in the car to make the front headlights/lamps light up. Also, i have a Carbide Air 540, so room aint no problem!

Nope, don't think so. I wouldn't put it touching the mobo though

If you get an all plastic car you should be fine. Its only metal parts you should be worried about.

Just make sure it doesn't have a fender bender.

 

This is outside the realm of tech really. but most jury rigged applications that need to isolate components electrically either use amalgamating tape, or a product called sikaflex. Both are electrically resistant. In your case I'd recommend mounting your car with sikaflex. all you need is a 20 dollar tube, and a goo gun.
