Can i put computer tower on carpet.

By older mycroft 13 years ago in reply to computer on carpet i m assuming you are talking about a tower pc as i doubt anyone would be stupid enough to put a laptop on a carpet. Avoid placing your tower pc on thick carpet. Typically these are adjustable rolling stands made of either metal or plastic. Is there something better than a piece of wood which you can sit a pc on some kind of.

You can buy rolling stands for precisely this purpose that also make it easier to move your desktop around. Before placing your pc on the floor be sure to think about airflow. But carpets are really good at trapping dust pet hair and all manner of other things. Heck even laying a piece of wood on.

No not exactly on the floor. I m thinking of buying the fractal r5 for my next build but it is a bit low profile and would be on carpet so it would be nice to raise it off the ground. There s a science to balancing airflow through. If the carpet is a problem consider putting it on a platform or stand on the carpet.

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. Of course you can and should pl. Just put a 1 2 inch think plank of wood underneath or get a stand for it. A pc caddy will get your tower up off of the messy carpet keep it under the desk out of site and fans out of earshot a bit while being movable to allow for access to.

My current pc sits on the carpet under my desk without issue however from what i can see my new machine has a case and psu with vents underneath so sitting it on the carpet is probably not a bright idea. You can always get those strap base that you can hang from the side of a desk with a solid base for the desktop which allows it to not be on the floor but at the same time to not be a pain to position on a desktop i saw them a while ago in ikea pretty useful imo edit. What can i use to raise my case off a carpeted floor. And your computer well it s a giant vacuum cleaner.

Hope the edit complies with the forum bad words rules. You also have a higher dust intake on the machine if you have it on a carpet.
