Dude get the computer off the carpet, c'mon

Forgive the ignorant question, but does it matter if the case has feet that elevate it above the floor? I’ve got an NZXT case that I’ve moved to the floor because of lack of space. I’ve stuck my hand underneath when the rig is running at full power and there’s no heat being exhausted, it’s all coming out the back.

Yes, dust lint and hair gets sucked into the machine and even if you have case filtration you'll be cleaning those suckers out way more frequently. More susceptible to damage on the floor, easier to mistakenly spill something on top of the machine. I dunno, I wouldn't set anything this expensive and sensitive on the carpet as a rule of thumb. If I run out of desk space I get a small end table, luckily mine fits on the window sill and thus stays nice and cool and away from stuff like feet and chair legs.

Cheers. You make a good point. I think I’m going to have to take the hit and buy a larger desk.

The case has raised feet and a dust filter on the bottom, it's a Corsair 465x. The carpet is on its way out anyway, I have wood flooring sitting in the closet. Soon!
