anyone ever put action figures inside your see-through PC case?

"Action figure" is a brilliant marketing euphemism for "doll".

So barbies are action figures?

no but my desk is full of dolls and plushies.

Call things what they are, do not be ashamed by your hobbies. Be proud of your action figure/plushy/whatever they are. But they are dolls.

Like Spock in the reactor from Wrath of Khan?

The answer is no, and I find the image slightly disturbing given the fact my PC case has so many spinning fans and turbines and slightly sinister use of shadows and red underlighting.

I use legos to hold up my gpu sag but no action figures cost too much

If your GPU is sagging then it's not mounted properly. Unscrew it and wiggle it around in the socket so the rear socket screwholes perfectly align with the rear panel screwhole. Then re-insert the screw and bolt it in tight. You may have to screw it in left-handed while you support the card with your right. Or borrow a friend like I did.

There's a zen and art to fitting a GPU without sag, I'm using an enormous GTX1080 and getting zero sag at all. A friend has a much smaller GTX970 that's slumped like a drunk.

They definitely do, I wanted to get a Booker/Elizabeth set from BioShock infinite, or a Big Daddy/Little Sister set. Was wayyy to expensive. I even tried looking up a V action figure from the movie V for Vendetta, again way too expensive. Idk, I'm gonna have to think of something else to put in my case, it's an Nzxt s340 so it has a convenient sort of platform on the right side that's just begging for some kind of cool fun prop

Well what separates action figures from dolls and figurines is that they can pose (hence ACTION). So technically Barbie Dolls ARE action figures. They're just not called that because the phrase "action figure" connotes a toy marketed at boys.

Thats ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid.
Considering how hot a PC gets the plastic would surely melt and ♥♥♥♥ up the components.
You're an idiot.

Good talk dude

[Smugass Braixen-Chan]

I'm not sure it would get hot enough to melt plastic.. Unless your case wasn't cooling properly...

My thoughts exactly, I've actually seen action figures inside cases before, it's how I got the idea.

[Smugass Braixen-Chan]

I see. Well I guess if you had a special stand for the figures, where they would be isolated from the working parts, it should be fine. Though there wouldn't be much in the way of room. And obviously you're restricting air-flow for no reason.
