under the desk, and you do need a "in the desk" option for computer desks that have a spot to put your tower

Under my desk on a small platform just to the right of my chair; everything is in easy reach.

Rat bastards @ work have me doing audits, I was going nuts trying to switch/resize different screens, then I noticed an unused PC in my room, took it apart, stacked the 2 cases on top of my desk, set the keyboards/monitors/mice next to each other on my desk, I've got multiple windows open on each system:)

Hardest part is trying to remember I can't jump the mouse from monitor to monitor like @ home, it keeps hitting the edge of the screen & stopping:(

They're impressed with my reports, hope they don't freak out too bad on my Frankensystem...

Mine is under the desk, there is a nice little space for it down there to prevent me from kicking it to much.

On the floor next to my desk, with the case open and a fan blowing in it.

Dunno why, but since I moved into the new office it was running WAY hot. I was getting steady 63C and was climbing to 67C when I turned it off and set up this fan/open case. So, until I can figure out what is wrong,... it stay there.

I voted on top of desk as it is actually on the same level as my desktop only on a separate stand and not the desk itself. I need ready access to my optical drives.
