Is it a bad idea to put my desktop tower case on the floor? (So I have more desk space)

As long as your feet feng shui avoids kicking disasters…
that's where mine is for the last 3 years… just remember to clean the bottom every once in a while. if you have fans there too, make sure they're blowing outwards.
Just make sure your intake fans have filters.
…maybe I should have taken a look at my fans before I moved it under the desk lol
Depending on how dusty your house gets, be sure toclean it every so often.
Shouldnt i be doing that even if it werent under the desk?
More often since dust settles more on the floor, imo.
This is why I am opting for progressively smaller PC chassis. That way, they stay on the table. My next rig will definitely be a mini-ITX form factor. :v
maybe, if you have those casings with exhaust openings at the top. You can get paranoid that everyone carrying a glass of water are going to trip on the rug.
