Actually, I am serious. I started my rig out caseless, and I just set them on top of anti-static bags due to my paranoia. But of course, I organized it so it looked pretty too. It was like that for over a month, and to be honest, I kinda miss it.

I are sorta caseless just now.
Just make sure that you don't short out any cables and you'll be fine.

That's not necessary. Seriously, just set them wherever right on top of anti-static bags.

Oh, also, try and find a place to mount a fan to cool your RAM/NB. I had to.

So are you saying that your motherboard was kept vertical? I mean, if somebody's going caseless, then graphics card won't lean in any direction. It'll just sit there. That's because they're likely to just rest the motherboard flat somewhere.

DO NOT place your hardware on top of anti-static bags. These bags actually conduct electricity across the outside. They are designed to protect hardware contained inside them. TwoCables lucked out, but you may not be so lucky. I recommend putting the motherboard on top of the box it came in so the expansion cards can hang off and seat well in the slots.
