How sturdy is the top of a P180?

Enclosures and acoustic damping to help quiet them.

I want to put some stuff on top of my P180 (the side where the blowhole fan is) and I'm not sure how much weight i can put on there. How sturdy is this part of the case?

How much stuff...

By stuff, are you referring to a motorcycle engine block, or a few library books?

I'd put 20-30 pounds on top of my P180 without hesitation, but I wouldn't recommend standing on it.

It isn't even aluminium on the top, it is black plastic.

Why bother putting a motorcycle engine block on top of your case when you can have the entire computer inside a motorcycle engine?
