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. (actually u know what? ommit this. tell me what could damage my computer if i don't clean it other than getting dusty and ugly.)
- 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.

I simply want to say. Assume i am careful, i won't bump i won't spill. Is there any other way for my mobo to get damaged without a case?

can a curious dust with static chrage miraculously land on my mobo and screw things up?

Well, if you snot on it while its running you could short out a part I would imagine. I would recommend a case even to help with dust and flying snot.

i see this guy never seen a typical F@H farm...

The point in a case is to protect.
If you dont need the protection, you dont need a case.

I have open bench cases which probably imply the same thing u want to do.
basically this is the case:
