Open

Open builds are the best

Do some people run pc with no case or this is just for photo? Is it safe to do? You need less fans that way?

i run it like tis normally, if you get a 4090 you cant afford a case 💀

I'd be worried about bugs going in it

nah but its also a waterchiller setup, and condensation could drip down onto my gpu if i left it unchecked

id get a serverrack, but this is like a 4-5u setup, then id have to get another case for the second pc, and then the hot air would be trapped in the case and cause MORE condensation

its just easier and cheaper to slap that bad boy on the desk

Sometimes I do a similar setup but I don't use any GPU or anything I just use my imagination

Got one on my desk right now

No need to cable manage when there's no case lmao

Nor any need for case fans for that matter

would ruin the aestetics, but i find i get better performance under prolonged load if i got a fan pointing directly down at the cpu, just to get some airflow on the vrm, ssd, and ram

2 different examples, same rig
