No computer I've met will ever heat up to the ignition point of any practicle material. Far too many different thermal shut offs. But some cheep knockoff might can find a way around the built-in thermal protections of the usual computers... I'm picturing these $100 dollar computers for everybody in the 3rd and lower world countries. So what if a few get burned up due to computer fires... Think of how many get advanced by the technology!!!
