POLL: is your tower/case on the floor or on top of a desk?

On the floor with a board under them so the intake doesn't pull carpet fiber and dust.

ditto.

I have my case on a 2 drawer chest that sits immediately to the left of my L-shaped desk. The optical drives are within arm's distance.

I still get a fair amount of dust compared to my dad's machine which is on a table. Even after 6-12 months, there's little to clean out of his, whereas mine has dust-bunnies galor.

i don't think a board (you didn't mention how thick, so I'll assume 1/4 inch) would make much difference.
it's still very close to the carpet.

floor. err, about 3 inches off the floor. My computer desk has a spot for it under the desk. That make sense?

Floor. If this cheap desk could support it though...

Crawling under the desk repeatedly is annoying. Moving the case out on carpet is equally annoying.

I`ve one on my desk(nice big desk and with my LCD gives plenty of space) and the other is on a small cabinet.

 

[hclarkjr]

mine is on floor with no case on it, i change parts to often to leave it on

 

[Aganack1]

mineis on a small table 6" off the floor

 

[zodder]

My main gaming rig is on my desk (have to show off my Lian Li ) and my server and workstation are on the floor.

Floor. My case (SuperMicro SC760A) is excessively huge.

Mine used to be raised off the ground a few inches (6 seems about right) on an old monitor stand, but I've since abandoned that and it's now on the floor again. My intake fans have a filter on them so dust isn't a big deal to me. The idea about the board with wheels was nice... maybe I'll have a project this weekend.

All mine are currently on a floor. Gaming rig is occassional on the dining room table when the "Florida room" is too cold in the winter. Although that angers wife

i've got a nice little xpc that sits on my desk quietly in the corner.

Floor, and that piece of crap I am always working on is on a desk next to us for easy access

 

[generationfourth]

my beautiful little shuttle is on the desk... i actually had a spot for it in my desk (removed a drawer from my dorm desk). but it just looks too damn good to be hidden

Desk, I end up kicking it or almost breaking a CD drive tray every week if it's on the floor.

 

[hjo3]

I have a low table next to my desk which my printer and towers sit on. My Shuttle system (size of a big toaster) sits on my desk. Then I've got a rackmount system in a cabinet a few feet away.

On its own stand and middle of case is height of key board. Set on stand to get clean air flow around it. Have had too much work experience where floor located systems collected hugh amounts of dirt/dust etc.. Also can see the side window much better (not the primary location reason, but important).

Floor. No table in my house could support my case.

What? Is your case made of lead or something? Or are you just into buying crappy tables?



My case is on a table behind my desk, along with a bunch of other computer crap. I just have to walk around everything to use the cdrom tray, and that's rarely used anyways anymore, except for ripping CDs.
