In case anyone is wondering as well, aside from this, Monoprice also makes similar desktop / monitor stands that are right around the dimensions for a lot of cases. Get those PC off the ground!
Not really. There will be a vent in the bottom for the psu and if the feet aren't long enough or the carpet is high enough it compeltely covers the intake stopping all air flow immediately. A peice of cardboard would prevent it but there are better options.
This works well and looks nice with the ibp cases.

I needed more desk space so I bought a desktop PC table thing off Amazon to put the PC on the floor. Better than directly on the carpet. And cheaper than a new desk.
How tall? I use this monitor stand under my DDJ-1000 and it fits perfectly, and rises it to the correct height while standing at my computer desk.
Just so that it doesn't suck in all the dust. My friend messed up his PSU by putting it on the floor. I can suggest a monitor stand and use it for the PC in the ground. That's what I do. Something like this or similar
I recently moved my tower down to the floor from my desk. I picked up a tempered glass Monoprice shelf that keeps it around 3" off the floor.

I have a larger, heavy case (NZXT H710i), so I could go with some of the cheaper options due to plastic support legs on other shelves.

I dont know if this will fit your dimensions but there’s a lot of stuff out there like this
Don't wear socks or a static-y sweater.
Build on a nice clean table/desk.
If walking around during the build, touch the case/PSU before handling components.
And not static-electricity related, but don't run the PC with it sitting on the carpet, as it's going to suck up fibers and dust a lot that way. Something like this is a good option, if you don't already have your case up off the floor.
If you're putting your case on the floor next to your TV, and using keyboard/mouse/controller from the couch, you may want some kind of stand to keep your case off the carpet.
I guess that'd make sense if there's a vent at the bottom.
I think this is nice. PC Stand ofc I'd prefer a non-glass one on wheels or something. That way it'd be easier to move around when trying to reach the back or just moving in general.
It was actually just deliver today. Super affordable and built like a tank.

Raise your PC tower off of the carpet. Use anything like a slab of wood or a stand like https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Medium-Multimedia-Desktop-Stand/dp/B01MA61R25
That point is not a matter of decor, but of functionality and maintenance. tower PCs on carpet take in far more dust, have worse airflow. I'd argue that part of maturity is taking measures to maintain & preserve your devices.
You could replace your gaming chair with an office chair. Herman Miller, Steelcase, Humanscale are the brands you will want to explore. Maturity unfortunately comes with backpain, so fancy ergonomic office chairs help to address that issue. I think the SecretLab chair you have is pretty nice though, and know plenty of adults who have these anyway.
Visually, you could remove colored LEDs, figurines, and any posters or wall hangings that are more unique than just scenic photographs of cities and landscapes. Maturity is traditionally seen as related to "boring" so if you want to appear more mature, then strive to be plainer, I suppose. That said, plenty of adults have colored LEDs and posters and figures and all the rest. Superficial appearances of maturity, and maturity itself, are very different separate things. I'm sure you already know, but there's no need to try to look more mature, and paradoxically the act of trying to look more mature is often considered immature. It's a catch-22, there's no way out...
This last bit is really subjective, but I'd suggest removing the standing floor-lamps. You have natural light from a window, a bedside lamp, and the lamp built into your ceiling fan. Surely that's enough light to not also need 2 more lamp-posts standing in corners with their power cables going off to nearby outlets. It just looks slightly haphazard to have so many different sources of light; there must be a way to consolidate? Maybe put a brighter LED bulb in the ceiling fan?

Get a pc tray like this. It’ll keep the tower off the carpet and the case’s feet will give the psu plenty of clean airflow

$25, gets it of the carpet and looks nice.
I got one of those lil glass plates/shelf things for my desktop so it’s under the desk but “off” the carpet. This thing

This matches the case and works well.

It's bigger than most of the monitor/computer stands, which is exactly what I was looking for.
The desk is from Ikea and here is the stand https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MA61R25/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Do you mean like an actual table? Or a stand just for keeping your tower off the floor?
