You should look into a Tech Station

Yea, that will be fine. Long as no one buggers with it, a PC can run caseless as long as you want it too.

Depends- how likely are you to trip and fall on it or drop something on it or w/e? Otherwise, you're fine.

I dropped my mobo one time and it still works fine, but I'd be worried about ripping out pci-e slots or something.

Try sitting a piece of cardboard under the drive. Or a mousepad (if you have one) it will act as a dampener for the vibrations.

Sorry didn't read the OP lol I thought you were planning on running it caseless period Didn't realize that it was only for a few days. In that case yes it is safe just be extremely careful when it comes to touching things and eating/drinking around it
