Computer on floor bad.
My pergo covered kitchen floor which has withstood every form of punishment two children can exact showed a small divot where the laptop landed.
On the floor keeping your pc on the floor is widely considered the worst place due to the amount of dust and pet hair that can get inside your tower especially on any type of solid flooring.
That s when keeping on the floor can be a bad idea.
You ll collect more dust on the floor requiring cleaning more frequently.
It s bad even if air doesn t flow into or out of the case here however if your pc sinks into the carpet a bit heat can build up underneath due to the lack of airflow.
Of course if you have short carpet on your floor the pc may be able to sit on that carpet with plenty of airflow underneath.
If you have bottom intakes then you need to ensure you have enough clearance for air to get to those intakes.
An ex girlfriend of mine kept her computer right on the floor and when we moved from it hardwood floors to carpet her computer literally would not start while sitting on the carpet.
I slid a piece of cardboard under there and it was fine.
