Keep PC on the floor or desk?

[g335]

Hello

Do most people keep their PC on the floor or desk?

Is it better for one or the other?

I keep mine on the floor and desk . It's a hardwood floor so it works out well.

I have never seen the benefits of putting a desktop on nothing but the floor,..
I do have static free carpet,..just to be safe,..

Carpet is not the best place for a computer, static-free or not. If you have to have it on the floor, place it on a flat, hard surface for airflow considerations, even a few inches off the floor makes a big difference in dust/fuzz control, even in the cleanest home.

I have a case with good inlet filters .
Its quieter under the desk on the carpet

Agreed,..I actually use two strips of 3 quarter inch plywood on top of the carpet,..my cases run different sizes so they are easy to adjust between the feet,..

Computer in the office with wood flooring, on the ground. Upstairs one for gaming with thick carpet, on the desk.

Otherwise I get too much dust in my computer (I do clean them at least once a year, usually twice to remove dust).
