If
- I won't spill anything coffee/water etc...
- no kids no pets
- i don't normally touch my mobo so i can static it.
- i put it on my wooden desk with a foam under it
- occasionally I will do cleaning.
- the rig i'm planning to do without case is on my sig.

Reason i want to run without case.
- I kind of move a lot and i can dissemble and assemble computer parts within 3 mins (yes i can do that in lightening speed). Case make it bulky and difficult to move.
- I want to see my monster while i'm running my rig S=
- easier to troubleshoot on what's going on.

BEFORE YOU REPLY.
Please scientifically state why it is a bad idea, and If possible how to solve it without getting a case. If that i snot possible please suggest me a case that is under 100usd. Is not because I'm cheaping out on my case it's simply im' throwing it away when i move.

Dupe. You already have one of these threads

I've accidentally bumped my computer before, but it was protected by the case so the bump was nothing.

If you accidentally slip or bump this test setup, you might break something. So, I guess it's like driving without a seat belt or eating food without a napkin - it's fine if you are perfectly safe, but who is perfect? I'd rather be safe than sorry.
