Hi,
I am interested in whether or not this will work :P, by work I mean will the box catch on fire xD.
Thanks,
Bakht
 
Nothing wrong with this.

The problem is that if you ever drop something onto the mobo, you could be in trouble.
Also, if you have kids/pets, then you will also eventually run into problems.

I don't think this would be a fire hazard. To catch on fire, you would need sustained sparking (arcing) and even then I doubt the box would catch on fire. As an experiment, try putting a lit match on top of the box and I would bet that the match would burn out before the mobo box catches fire.
 
Be fine, did this with dual watercooling loops for a lengthy period of time whilst case was being powdercoated and modded
 
only real problem i have is x40 only comes with applied thermal paste :( think id struggle to get it all into the case without reapplying, and im too lazy to buy some and clean off the original stuff with rubbing alcohol :P
 
I had my mobo running on the box for almost a month.
Just make sure that you don't spill any drink on it or experience will be electryfying... and possibly your last.
