Doubt it, feel the outside of your tower case, it's probably not that hot?
As long as it had half decent airflow, it should only be slightly warm at most.

metal cases are about 1mm thick depending on the part

Good seasoned wood (by the shape it will be laminated then veneered, or milled from solid) should be dimensionally stable. I have over the years worked with much "heat producing" electronics in wooden cabinets, never seen heat related problems when ventilation was appropriate.

For $6900 I think I will pass on this one. Even if I did have the money I can think of a better computing solution.

Get the gold trim one with two arms.

Gold - Medium (800x600)

Gold - Huge (1600x1200)

Mine is a cheaper one that is about 30 years old.

A Kenwood KD-3055 Turntable
