Ha ha only serious. There were cases on local news when homes burned down because PC caught fire. Not only circuit breaker — please give me something (IR sensor?) that will trip and cut power if anything in the room and in the PC enclosure exceeds, say, 120°C

Or a simpler setup would be a smoke detector that turns off a power strip when triggered.

Kind of like some 3d printers have.

Not sure how useful that would be considering the fire has probably already started.

Things generally smoke before they burn
