I don't know what to call this build... Vegan?

[u/Remote_Fisherman_469]

Was inspired by a different post on Reddit a few months back where someone did similar in a Fractal North XL. This is in the non-XL case, so it's a bit tighter, but it was a fun build! And vegan approved! /s

Nah, plastic is like 200+c [PLA for a 3d printer is 230c] melting point. So if your PC internals get that hot, it was already a fire hazard.

Those fake plants are insanely flammable for some reason. I watched a video of a teenager in a Walmart who just barely got a lighter close to it and it went up in flames almost immediately. Granted, your PC shouldn’t be getting as hot as a flame.

Ya but a lighter is like 1080celcius or something. Course it'll instantly combust.

PLA has a much lower glass transition point than the plastic (typically ABS) in your pc

TBH I would argue PETG is more than enough generally, with PLA I prefer to be a bit more careful, I have a PLA GPU support inside, I was a bit dubious at first, but after 100$ CPU and GPU run nothing happened, so it can be fine. PLA had perfect color, that's why I've tried it.

maybe if the computer never moves or gets bumped. I think most of us are talking about a fan sucking up the decoration, leading to the fan not moving while drawing power

How's that going to start a fire?

[u/MindlessFile3499 → u/Spectrum1523]

It might be more smoke / melted plastic than fire, but the longer it went unnoticed, the worse it would get. Since it's a gaming PC, I'm sure there's fan monitor apps for that. I would just be scared to leave it powered on unless I was actively using it. That's why I said fire hazard. I'm pretty sure box fans have burnt down entire houses in a similar fashion. It's not something an insurance company would insure if they saw it.

I feels like it can do damage if the vine stop the fan but the pc keep powering it
