Is it safe for my computer to be right in front of the power outlet?

My computer is right in front of the power outlet and the fan is pushing air just to the right of it. Both outlets are in use.

Some Solutions If It Is Dangerous:

1. Move the computer under my desk. CONS: It sticks more than the table and me and others may accidentally kick it.

2. Move everything to the other wall. CONS: Light from the window in the monitor, room look weird.

3. Get rid of my current bed and use a Japanese Futon, so I can move everything so the desk is right under the middle of the window. CONS: Cleaning unrolling the futon and cleaning room more often to prevent dust and pests.

I personally like number 3 but I would like to have to do nothing if everything is safe right now.

It is not a big deal at all.

Although I guess theoretically over time you could have a build up of dust (depending on how whether or not you have carpet). This could pose as a fire hazard but it is extremely unlikely.

But if there is stuff plugged in to them you shouldn't have worry about that and if you don't, you could go to the local hardware store and get some of these.
