Carefull using PLA. PC components can get HOT and potentialy melt the PLA.

Other then that. It looks very good and clean. Do you happen to share the stls?

I printed a case for a small PC that I user as a home server 3 years ago, and I used the cheapest PLA out there. No warping, nothing broke. It is cooled by a single 80mm.

As long as there's enough airflow to prevent the PLA from actually heating up, it will be fine.
