Can I safely put my computer on the floor?

[Lolboi90]

Basically I bought a new computer and its to big to fit on my desk so I was wondering how do I safely keep it on the floor? (I have carpet if that matters)

Yes of course, putting it on the floor is fine. It will be less noisy too, so that's a plus.

If your flooring is carpet, ideally you put the PC on a board on top of the carpet. That will allow airflow up through the bottom.

Is there some kinda of mat I should set it on or will it be fine on the carpet? I have a bottom mounted PSU and a nzxt phantom case if that matters.

Ah if you've got a bottom mounted PSU and a carpet (unless it's a very thin carpet) you will want something like what USAFRet suggested.
