I spent many years as an certified Fire and Explosion investigator. Never saw a computer that caused a fire. A bit of smoke an few times, once my own 5 grand 5 meg hard drive, it filled the office with black smoke but only a resistor burned and it was tiny, and my drive worked for two more years. I've seen whole apts wired with Electrolux wire the owner fixed them and re used the wire. One nite out for last call at a local, the stereo caught fire. 85 feet of Electrolux cord to a plug and that of course dropped the voltage and now you apply Ohms law.
Magazines on top of the stereo and...bingo. Fire. Two hundred thousand insurance claim and a four plex that was supposed to be a duplex least ten homeless and killed 4 pets. No detectors worked.

Like a lot of home made car stereo systems.. Ummm no sir only thing I've done to my sweet ride was add a big stereo, you should have seen the headlights dance when the bass was grovin moved them lights up and down shaking my car. Geez. Son you needed to pop a cap in that ride! Electrical joke there.


Keep your fan clear, don't pile stuff on top, and just do like me, turn it off when you move it.
