Even with 4 pets.
Should you have your pc on the floor.
Yes especially if you have carpet and any ventilation openings on the bottom of the case.
Well when you have the pc under the desk it will be less in the way and it will get slightly cooler air as cool air is at the bottom of the room.
The only problem is where do you put it before you drag that heavy new tower into your home office space you ought to decide where you re going to put it.
My computer desk has a small platform built in to put the computer case on.
Keeping the pc will leave it less exposed to dust that gathers on the floor this is a bigger problem if you have a carpet.
That allows me to properly clean the floor or deal with major spills without worrying about damaging my system.
Of course you can and should pl.
I believe a pc should always be elevated off the floor even if only on a platform a couple inches tall.
Dust wont break a computer or any components.
I ve had all my pc in my house including my gaming pc on the floor for years and have never had a problem.
Mar 17 2015 12 11pm thank you all for your input i will look at all of these ideas.
I have seen many people do this i use the past tense since these days most people in my company have switched to notebooks but it is wrong the computer will breathe a lot of dust.
Your pc will be just at home sitting on a flat floor as it would on a flat desk.
It provides more airflow than the included 25 case feet could have allowed on carpet.
But when you want real power from your at home computing machine there s no better choice than a tower computer.
And if you have carpet on your floor you re probably blocking the power supply s intake fan.
No not exactly on the floor.
And if you don t have any carpet at all this isn t a concern.
If you don t have a choice you ll want to buy some compressed air and regularly blow out inside your computer.
Of course if you have short carpet on your floor the pc may be able to sit on that carpet with plenty of airflow underneath.
Keep your computer on a desk or other riser if at all possible and make sure there are filters.
Laptops and all in one computer monitors are a lifesaver for anyone struggling with limited space or too many cords.
Just make sure you dust it out every few weeks months depending on how dusty the area is.
