I do most of my job at my desk.
Computer on the floor or desk.
If your chair is too high for you to rest your feet flat on the floor or the height of your desk requires you to raise the height of your chair use a footrest.
If your desk has a door remove it so that air can flow freely.
No not exactly on the floor.
If a footrest is not available try using a small stool or a stack of sturdy books instead.
The floor may even be preferable in some situations.
I tried a child sized desk which is about my size because i am very short.
Some people with heavy pc towers may be concerned about them toppling off a desk and falling on children or pets.
Keep in mind that in this situation your tower is still usually only inches off of the floor so dust will still get in as well as gather on the shelf.
I have mine on a small 1 5 foot tall table to the side of my desk i think it provides the best of both options.
If you frequently access your cd rom or any other part of your computer then it is more practical to have.
Safer in terms of the tower falling over more space on the floor cons.
On the floor is where it s at.
Floor you hear it less it s out of the way but could pick up more dust if the intakes are near the bottom of the case.
Of course your circumstances may be different.
Floor pros cons.
Tower falling from desk broken pc desk space at premium.
Of course you can and should pl.
Oh if you re putting it on the floor get a wooden board or something to put it on.
I have seen many people do this i use the past tense since these days most people in my company have switched to notebooks but it is wrong the computer will breathe a lot of dust.
There s a good chance you have more space on your floor than your desk and placing your tower on the floor will free up some space.
I tried a drafting table.
Under the desk make sure there s clearance for your knees thighs and feet.
On it i don t have a long enough desk to put my pc on my desk right now under next to the desk there s more heat generally as it circulates around the wall and you ll get far far more dust on the floor.
However there are some computers that are better situated sitting on a desk vs the floor.
Finding it uncomfortable i tried another drafting table.
If not we d at least drill a large hole in the back.
Most desks have a hole cut behind a shelf or drawer to run wires and cable.
Dirtier and dustier floors with carpet are bad as they do not allow airflow under the pc tower desk pros cons.
