I would say go for it, the PS4 is x86 just like the original Xbox and PCs. It means it should be more reliable than previous consoles. In worst case scenarios the console could only reset itself often times instead not turning on at all like with the Xbox 360, if it is broken.
By the way heres some video from a forum user how to treat consoles and place them in your room, i recommend everyone to watch it, very imformative
