PC case exposed metal, if left as is will it cause issues?

[AltF4_345]

There is some exposed metal in the frame. The case is a Meshify 2 Compact which is 1 year old and the exposed part has some orange spots already. Will the case be eating itself soon or is it something merely cosmetic?

The case will eat itself and begin the process of becoming a OmNomCase. 

 

Overall youll be fine, you can just use something to cover it after you clean it off and youll be fine.

i'm not sure if that part of the meshify is aluminium or steel, so i'll cover both:

- if it's aluminium: you're fine.

- if it's steel, it depends. if you're in a very rust-prone climate, like hot coastal cities, it'll probably form some rust. but as long as you dont have your case sitting out in the weather i doubt it'll form problematic amounts before the computer has gone obsolete.

if you want to be certain, cover it with some nail polish or similar.
