Very interesting Jhautz. I definately considered this a problem when I first noticed that my v1's internals could be moved inside the case. I clearanced the bottom of the case where the fan plug and round black coil thingy (sorry for the overly technical terms) would contact. I also cut some high desity foam to act as a shock absorbing suspension. I placed a long strip under the solder points for the motor wires, and a small square under each input lead solder point. These tightened up the internals when the case was closed.

I also noticed that the pcb can rub thru the thin fan wires. They are quite a tight fit between the edge of the pcb and the case. I wonder if those wires are having the insulation rubbed off and then shorting together or shorting on the pcb? A dead short there could cause the bec to fail... I need to pull my v1 back apart and see how those small wires are doing. I added some heat shrink to them on the v2, but have not run it much yet...
