Is it okay if I put my PC under the desk?

[mihai.filat]

I what to build a PC in the Thermaltake Versa C23, but i only have room for it under the desk. The problem is that i only have 205 mm (width) space and i'll be left with only 5 mm space.

Is this okay for the air flow?

Should i do water cooling?

thanks

Is there any space open at the back of teh space for hot air to exit?

What are the specs of the PC?

What do you mean "cut the cardboard"?

Considering the case draws air in from the front, as long as you have an exit for the hot air it should be fine.

Looking at your list, I would recommend a better power supply. The CX750M is good, but there are better ones available.

As long as there is nothing above to obstruct the airflow, 10 cm is fine.

One thing to be aware of, if the floor is bouncy (wooden), heavy footsteps can cause premature wear and damage to mechanical hard drives
