Not really. It will promote dust buildup but if you got rubber stands (rubber legs) for the case, you don't need to worry about anything,

i know about the dust buildup, i just kinda want it out of my face. I dusted for the first time in 3 months with almost no dust, so on the floor i think the dust will be ok if i do it every 3 months. as for the legs i have plastic legs, same difference?

As long as it's slightly elevated from the carpet then it should be fine. Make sure you have got dust filters to prevent dust etc from building up inside the case.

Yeah. Just make sure the bottom of the case is off the carpet. Also make sure there is no fan installed on the bottom that is taking in air - again, dust buildup.

Dust it out every couple months, 2 or 3 months, and you should be fine. Don't forget to clean your CPU heatsink and re-apply thermal paste every 2-3 years (talking long term).

It would be recommended but not really necessary. Don't forget to actually clean the dust filters.

if you can find two short pices on nice looking wood and put the case up. you dont want the power supply to over heat do to no airflow.
