How dangerous is it, to take all your components out n set em up on a table ? like in those invisible links ! Obv it needs to be on a none conductive surface, but what else needs to be thought about ?

Take precautions when handling it. (Static)
Lock the cat in another room

You should be ok after that.

No problems at all, I do it alot when I am testing components.
In fact, most of the computer stores I frequent have caseless setups so they can test the parts their customers try to return cause they dont work

I never worried too much about temps when doing it.

If that is what you are mainly doing it for then you could always run it in a case with the side off and the fan blowing in. You would probably get the same results.

I leave the sides of my case off and have a 15 inch house fan blowing on my computer. I only leave the fan on low speed (not as loud) and it drops my temps about 5c. My mom says it's a safety hazard, but I haven't heard her reasons for that yet. Personally I don't think it's a problem, the fan is in a safety cage, and isn't heating up from constant use, so what else could be bad?

i had my components sitting on my carpet for about 2 weeks while i was waiting for my case... *yes i know it was moronic... but im lazy*

Its okay to do that, i used my pc out of the case for over a week when i was painting my case, and now i leave the sides all the time because they are so hard to put on, those crappy $50 cases!
