Do you guys think it’s possible to build a PC inside of a IKEA KALLAX or will everything catch on fire?

Nothing in a PC should be hot enough to set fire to wood. The hottest components top out at around 100C.
You just need to make sure it’s small enough. Itx is probably the only thing that will fit.
It’s ok when you put a fire extinguisher next to it.
How would it catch on fire 😂
Barring an odd hardware fault, there really isnt any way for a PC to set alight to a bit of cardboard/wood furniture. Honestly sounds like a fun project if you’re up for it.
An open air ITX chassis inside one of the cubes with a glass door would probably do the job, and be quite good looking, but not sure about the cooling as the doors come with a back usually.
With active cooling no passive could only get a little warm thats all
Can i get updates of your build? Im corious how you wanna do it
Of all the things to build a pc into…

It’s possible but you need to figure out the airflow.
It won’t catch on fire unless one of the PC components catches on fire first, and then ignites it. Which is a rare but real possibility, so I’d recommend a metal case.
Please build it and post the results! Sounds like an awesome idea! Also like others said, there shouldn’t be any fire hazard as long as you have a decent PSU and take care of the airflow.
I built a pc in an AvP hyperion ev33b. That fit in one of the slots of a kallax. It was pretty low end system though so heat wasn’t much of an issue
I had my nzxt h710 in a 4×2 kallax. I just took the cross section out of one half. It was actually awesome, the case draws air from the sides so it didn’t hinder flow too much and kept the PC safe and out of the way. I wouldn’t use a 2×2, without that cross section it would lose lots of sturdiness.
