If you want to keep it on the floor, at least have the case on some sort of floor stand a few inches off the floor. There are PC case floor stands which are designed for floor locations. Here's one that I got from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Desktop-Computer-Rolling-Adjustable/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=sr\_1\_11?crid=2TL5A9TPQ77PW&keywords=pc+case+floor+stand&qid=1666635162&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjk1IiwicXNhIjoiMy40MCIsInFzcCI6IjIuMjUifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=pc...

This is the one one currently using. Would you advise against it?
Mobile Desktop Tower Computer Floor Stand Rolling Caster Wheels and Adjustable Width from 6 to 10 Inches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YGE7A13M149V9HY2JC4P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I use this one, but definitely get something with wheels. Easier to plug things in and move it to vacuum

I went with one of these instead (basically caster wheels for you pc): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYRO7O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Allows you to move the PC around to vacuum, swap cables, etc.. I was a bit on the fence about using this method to raise it off the carpet at first, but now that I've had it for several months I absolutely love it.

It may mess up your all white theme but it won’t choke your PSU intake if it’s on the bottom. And it’s super easy to adjust and sturdy when checking/adding cables to the back.
The best option would be to put the case on the desk but if you like where it’s at you could get a stand.
I just moved one of my kid's PC's to a carpeted floor to make room for a second monitor on his desk. I used one of these stands for $11 to keep it up a bit as the case is a big Fractal Design R5 and has a fan and filters on the bottom. Been working well but still need to be cautious rolling it as it is a big case. If your case does not have bottom airflow it is probably not necessary, but does help with accessing the back panel.
If you have the S be very careful with those controllers as many report they are not as durable as the controllers from the CV1. Some find a small mat in the center of their playspace helps keep them from venturing to far.
I use 2 of these (Fractal R5 case is huge and weighs 35 lbs) and think it's pretty convenient. It gives it enough ventilation and mobility, but dust is still a bit of a problem. If my desk was bigger and not made of glass,I would definitely put it on the table
If you absolutely must have wheels, you can grab a tower caddy like this: https://www.amazon.com/IOCrest-Adjustable-Foldable-Flexible-SY-ACC65029/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_229_lp_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8DQ4N4JX0RCB5QRBQTHN
If you absolutely need to elevate it, your best bet might be to get a busted old PC and repurpose the case.
My fault for not being specific, it is under my desk at the moment, it is around 65cm tall and has another 10 to play with, need to keep it under my desk as there is no room next to it.
I need something like this ideally
But one that fit my computer.
I legit JUST bought one of these last week off Amazon so I can keep my desktop off my carpet floor... Still called a CPU Stand too! Works great... Item on amazon
I'll be using a cooler master silencio 352 matx case. Will I need 2 of these stands or can I get by with 1? https://www.amazon.com/IOCrest-Adjustable-Foldable-Flexible-SY-ACC65029/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Only one review stated that it fitted a cooler master n200 matx, but IDK if he was referring to 1 or 2 stands.
You should not build on carpet. However once you've finished building and you've closed up your case, it's fine to put the PC on carpet. As long as the PSU is plugged in, your case is electrically grounded through its power cable.
However, many cases have bottom-facing fans for the PSU. If you have one of those, you should not put the case directly on the carpet, because the carpet will block the fan. You will want to buy something like this to get the bottom of the PC a few inches off of the ground. There are lots of risers like this, I chose this one because doesn't have a solid bottom (which would also block the airflow). Alternatively. you can mount the PSU so that the fan blows into the case, instead of out through the bottom. The PSU screws in either way.
Find 2 pieces of wood. Place case on top of wood. Voila.
In all seriousness, you could go with these if you really wanted to. I used them for my own case personally, but the wheels kept falling off on me. :T
This. I use it to keep the computer off the carpet and allow the psu fan to function properly.
I'm searching for a product similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Adjustable-Caster-Wheels-SY-ACC65029/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437058757&sr=8-1&keywords=SY-ACC65029&pebp=1437058686357&perid=15YQ4PJPPZPA6KZVHA90
If I can't find it, I may just order that and remove the walls so it's a piece of metal on wheels to keep my PC on.
Also, Amazon refunded my purchase of the listed stand but does not require it to actually be returned. So that was neat.
It doesn't; it's sitting on a stand.
Put it on caster wheels: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYRO7O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have this for my pc and I love it.
I use one of these for the PC in my carpeted living room. Works great.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYRO7O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
this is what I got. Same idea pretty much
I got a little plastic stand with wheels for ~$12. It does the job!
There are many available choices on Amazon, but I'm using this one which is adjustable to fit any PC case. https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Desktop-Computer-Rolling-Adjustable/dp/B003BYRO7O
I like these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYRO7O/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I run an air cleaner in the rooms where I have a computer and have the robot vac run daily. Computer stays reasonably clean.

That is sort of a random one I found, but I know there are other brands and designs.

What about something like the SY-ACC65029: https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Desktop-Computer-Rolling-Adjustable/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=zg\_bs\_1069116\_5?\_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7B4DZ1ZB4SACGDA0YM8Q
This product would certainly get your tower off of the floor.
You can totally leave it on the ground, just get one of these.
Aye, it's elevated; it's sitting on a stand.
I have one of these. Let's air in and I can move the computer around for cables or whatever.

I wasn't able to find a lot of great options, but I ended up getting https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003BYRO7O
I found this when looking for a stand for myself: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_VVNCFbZMXBCH9
sure but its literally wheels, meanwhile in pc world

Thats a nice compact pc cart
I'm wanting to put my PC on a small side table. I have this right now, but I'd rather have it elevated. My PC will weigh about 20-25 lbs (Fractal Nano S). Any recommendations?
This nice ~~PC~~ CPU Stand
I use this to not only lift it from the ground but also give my PC the ability to be moved around easily
Pretty much exactly my setup, but the Volcano on the left next to the window. Very nice, but you need to get a computer stand and put that shit on the floor. Too much desk space taken up, but you don't want it to sit directly on the floor either. It's a tricky situation. Then you need a second monitor and a dual monitor stand to be a real badass. Desk space is essential.
I use this and this is how it looks in action.
I have this and love it SYBA CPU Plastic Stand for ATX Case with Adjustable Width and 5 Caster Wheels (SY-ACC65029) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_kbO3vbFQC9VK7
This is the one I ordered: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003BYRO7O
I like it since it has room at the bottom for the rear mounted fans to get air.
I have on of these, no problems yet.
