Carefull using PLA. PC components can get HOT and potentialy melt the PLA.
Other then that. It looks very good and clean. Do you happen to share the stls?
I printed a case for a small PC that I user as a home server 3 years ago, and I used the cheapest PLA out there. No warping, nothing broke. It is cooled by a single 80mm.
As long as there’s enough airflow to prevent the PLA from actually heating up, it will be fine.
I’ve also had problems with PLA prints delaminating and becoming brittle over time, especially if it’s being flexed or exposed to sunlight. Some PLA’s are worse than others with this, though.
I use PETG for anything I want to last a long time.
