Do you put Funko Pops or other decorations inside your PC?

Personally I don't and don't understand why you would. Seems like it'd wreck your cooling especially if you aircool IMO. Why do or don't you put decorations inside your PC?

Funko Pops specifically are fugly, so hell no. But, I have thought about other decorative objects. I've wanted to do a case mod with a theme beyond just filling it with RGB, and in that sense it would be a part of that.

With you on the Funko Pops yeah but I wonder how cooling would be affected from having such things especially on top of the video card (also sag)

Putting decorative items in your PC has almost zero effect on thermals until you start getting super crazy with them.

I don't, my PC case doesn't have a side window so it's pointless decorating it since I won't be able to see the decorations.

I'm going to be building a new PC soon and am planning on adding some decorative objects inside to match the colour theme I'm going for (either black and silver or black and light blue, I'm not sure yet).

I only have one question (and this 100% rhetorical) what the hell is a Funko Pop.

I own one Funko, a Black Panther one. I put mine on the outside of my case since the inside tends to get dusty pretty quickly, and putting anything large like a Funko figure ruins the visual aesthetic. There isn't really any appropriate spot inside my NZXT S340 for a figure to stay there.

No, I wouldn’t be able to see them as I don’t have a window.

Nope, I'd be afraid on something tipping over and hitting a fan or pulling a wire or something.

Funko-pops no because they're trash, but I have a Sons of Anarchy belt buckle that has had the little hook part on it break off, rendering it useless as a belt buckle. I hope to someday figure out a way to mount it inside my case.

You should never put anything inside a desktop that's isn't thermally stable. Toys are never made of high quality plastic, and will melt if they come in contact with any heat sink. If you're going to put anything silly in a desktop, Glass is your best option. Glass won't melt in a PC. You can also find rocks or gems that do not have conductive metal in them.

 

And no, I wouldn't. It's a PC, not an aquarium.

I considered placing something inside my PC (not Funko's, I don't like their design) and doing some other LED strip stuff, but now with my current L desk, I have my PC in the corner behind my monitors. I can't see it, so there is no reason to mod it like that now.

Just cuz you don't care what the answer is, doesn't make it rhetorical.....and if you don't care what the answer is...why ask? Unless you're trolling, in which case you should be reported to a moderator,  but as you are a moderator, you'd have report yourself, in which case, who watches the watchmen? (which IS rhetorical).

 

Anyway, they're ugly little plastic figures that people collect.  I'm surrpised there's isn't a LMG series of them.
