Desktop case (virus?)

[magnusg]

Hey, i'm new here so sorry if i do something wrong
the thing is, i'm very paranoid when it comes to viruses, and i just bought a nzxt s340 elite case used, are there any components in a case that could possibly contain virus? probably a stupid question, but i'd rather be safe than sorrow...

The only thing that could store a virus is a flash device such as a USB thumb drive, or a hard drive. (For something like this) Check the USB cables that go to your motherboard to trace them to their buttons and ports to make yourself feel better.
You can also verify if you have one of those 12 port media readers that read small sd cards from cameras has something in any of its slots. Cases don't come with either of these, Or a memory card preinstalled, so no.

a case doesn't contain any memory chips, just wires. so nothing a virus could be stored on

But i was also thinking about the fan control thing? What about that does that have any kind of memory?

Not like that. I hit all the possible points.

Fan controllers also don't have storage or connect in that manner. They go into fan pin slots. Some might do USB but for power and for interface.
