I would absolutely love to find a desk that could holy my machine though. That would be wonderful. Not likely though.

My laptop is on my desk, while my fileserver is on the floor. If I ever switch back to a tower, it will be on the floor.

Used to be on the floor, I moved it to the desk when I got an Antec P180. I like staring at it almost as much as my monitor.

Floor right now. Can't hear the fans as much and it takes up less space. It may be getting more dust however.

Technically on the floor, but I have it lifted so the bottom gets air. When I move I'll probably get a better desk that includes a station for it.

I keep mine on my desk at home because

1) my desk is huge, and it looks really empty without something on it besides my (comparatively) tiny monitor and printer, and
2) because my window and lights totally kick ass.

I wish it wouldn't make so much noise; I've become a silence freak because of it. All I can hear is my hard drive's idle noise and the buzzing coming from my cold cathodes. Still seems loud. :(

I guess I forgot about the rack. So 1 on the floor, and 3 more on shelves in the garage (yes, running).
