    I chose above but my mini tower isn't really above my desk. It's behind the desk, on it's own shelf, because cable management and minimalism™.

    why would you put it on the desk if there's floor space? carpeting cause overheating problems or something? collects too much dust down there? i've never owned a tower pc so maybe this is a dumb question.

    sidenote @THFYM so we bought some of those cheapo garage door insulation kits and prelim data is suggesting this summer our complete unconditioned, unsealed, unfinished GARAGE is going to be cooler than my office

    so anyway invest in spray foam can producers

    First of all about the poll a laptop is a computer. :p Mines lives on a wooden wine box on its side that offers storage underneath so my desk is clear..

    Second, I'm just the opposite. My back HAS to be to a window so I get the natural light but am not distracted by anything outside the window.

    We have ours on the floor but sitting on old monitor stands to keep it off the carpet but the cases both Matt and I got have great air flow so we only really have to worry about static.
