Hello Jova2424, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

No, it will not hurt it. Just make sure you keep the fan exhaust uncovered so that hot air can be pulled from the case
As long as fan exhaust is not covered, you’re good. Although, I wouldn’t get into the habit of using this space as storage. One thing leads to another and then you have a spilled coffee in your tower!
OP, PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!
It will make you gay and kill your pets! I learned this the hard way!
I wouldn’t put a glass of water up there but otherwise you’re fine.
I have the exact same pc, im in love 😍😍
No not really. Putting small stuff like an alexa, LED roof light controller, your wifi antenna or some bits of decor it wont do anything. I personally have my antenna and two plastic animals as decoration.
Just dont cover it completely if your top is an air inlet or outlet. (obviously if you just have a flat sheet metal top it doesnt matter, but most modern cases have the whole top as a vent and often a filter screen for the dust)
This isn’t as big of a deal if its just a hole without fans but still worth it to kepp in mind not to cover it as it will still affect your airflow and cooling even if its just a passive vent.
Worst case if your short for space find one of those pantry shelf riser things (platform with 4 legs) that fits your pc well and put that on top with the stuff on it.
