> Will probably stick it on a plank of wood.

Yep, that'll work. Or a short table, or one of these.

I personally look for a desk to hold two 27 inch monitors and a long mouse pad. I don’t really like the keyboard trays cause I move my hand around with my mouse and wouldn’t want it to be on a different level than my keyboard (if that makes sense).

I like a basic desk. No shelves/storage stuff. I have tried those before and it was a mess. One thing I invested in so I wouldn’t have my desk holding my PC was a PC caddy. Cost around $10. Incredibly helpful so you have maximum desk space. I got mine off Amazon. Also I sit on my legs A LOT and personally hate sitting “normal” when gaming. So I got a little foot hammock so I can have my feet off the ground and stretched out and comfortable.

Here are the things I mentioned in my post:

Caddy : Adjustable Width ATX Computer Case Caddy Stand with 5 Caster Roller Wheels Foldable Flexible https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_53fuUKihOAwjL

Agreed.

Should get something like this

This, it's to keep the case off my carpet. The PSU fan feeds out the bottom.

I love that it's called a "cpu stand." haha.

I use one of these for the PC in my carpeted living room. Works great.

I keep it on my carpet, but I use this to keep it elevated. I'd recommend it, works incredibly well

I've personally got one of these for my desktop.

Thanks, I found something similar, maybe I'll just 2 of these:

I've been using this for months. Keeps it way off the ground for plenty of space below.

VIVO Black Computer Desktop ATX-Case, CPU Steel Rolling Stand, Adjustable Mobile Cart Holder with Locking Wheels (CART-PC01) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074P76TBW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xpYtDbED5VQAH

Use this. It has wheels and the sides slide out to multiple sizes. Keeps the floor from getting sucked into your pc as well. Was my old riser. Currently just using a metal monitor stand. You could try that if you’re rocking like a cooler master huge case and don’t like the walls

I got one of these to solve that problem:

Works great!

1. Make it your priority everyday to try your best to keep it clean and away. It'll make a difference, trust me :)
   
   
2. While you're waiting, you can still clear somethings out in the meanwhile. For example, the can of air freshener in the middle of your shelf isn't doing you any welcoming favours. Pick up a candle or check this post out! Why the two trash-bins? You've got your wallet, watch, colognes all strewn around your desk. Have a look into valet trays. At least that way all of your things will be together in one spot, maybe put it on a shelf in your closet? I understand the need for the PC on the desk, but that is actually the reason things looks so awfully cluttered. Something like this perhaps?
   
   
3. Awesome, I was hoping you'd say you hardly used it lol. Get rid of it, put some shelves in, decorate them accordingly. Less is more in that sense though.
   
   When it comes to your closet, yes - those organizing bins are brilliant. BUT only as long as you don't just throw/ram things in there and leave them half out of your shelves and what not. Keep your clothes folded and neat. I'd suggest getting either black or white bins where your bedding is black/white. Avoid any other colours given that you have a lime green wall in your room. Put all of your toiletries in one of those as well instead of a hair dryer in a shelf, deodorant on your desk, etc.
   
   Other points:
   Find a better home for both the helmet and printer. Put a draping plant up there or other decorations.
   Tidy up those wires and cables
   If you don't want to put shelves here once the couch is out, a framed photo or poster with a nice frame would look great there! In fact, /u/frostfall010 just made a great example

Theres things like this and this that don't take up much room and allow for it to be moved easily and keep it off the floor.

My brother has one of these. Elevates the PC, provides a place to hide excess cabling, and if you take the front sticker off like he did, it's pretty subdued

Yeah of course. I use this PC stand. It's nothing special but it works.

Are you looking for something like this? (Damn, the nomenclature they use makes me want to stab someone).

Something like this. A block of wood would probably work too, any solid surface where your tower can stand and have some air flow.

this
or this
or maybe you like this one more

and this

Not a DIY but how about a PC cart with wheels

I wouldn't put it on the floor. Easier to collect dust & pet hair (if you have pets)

Something like [THIS] (https://www.amazon.com/ERGONOMIC-Computer-Height-Adjustable-Suitable-Converters/dp/B07CQPLHFH/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=pc+cart&qid=1555297908&s=gateway&sr=8-3) might be better.

looks clean my man! I dig the case too, it's different from the stuff you usually see on here. I see what looks like a mechanical keyboard box keeping your PC off the floor though, I know this won't add much value to the way things are currently setup since you have relatively easy access to your PC but if you switch things up and want to still keep it on the floor, 3M makes a desktop stand with caster wheels on the bottom to easily pull your PC out from under a desk,etc. It's like $20 on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KI8HKC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use one of these.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYRO7O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought two of these when I built my new rig last month. I love the shit out of them.

lol lucky I found it! Bought this almost 5 years ago.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006V9AUMC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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.

A couple of rolling laptop stands

Usually sold as laptop carts.

https://www.amazon.com/Techni-Mobili-Height-Adjustable-Graphite/dp/B00WG9A1MK/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_229_img_1

Saw a few people recommended moving PC to the floor, and placing on a stand. Sounded good to me as well and wanted to recommend this one

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.

My PC sits in the (wood) floor. Should I get something like this for it?

There's no "standard" height for that. Your tower just needs to be high enough for your power supply fan on the bottom to suck up air into it. You case has little feet that put it just high enough. What I've seen most people do is find a little piece of wood that is just wide enough, or maybe a little wider than their tower, for it to sit on. Me personally, I've got a stand with wheels on it that I can't recommend enough.

Here it is: http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SY-ACC65029-Castors-Plastic-Adjustable/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1396236179&sr=1-1&keywords=pc+stand

It's got 5 wheels on it, and is a bit of a pain to smoothly roll around, but if you don't move your PC for anything other than dusting it out every so often (I do it every 2-3 weeks), it's MORE than worth it to purchase. The stand will keep your tower somewhere between 3-4.5 inches off the floor. Really hope this helps.

Think about that for a second.

Your PSU pulls air from the bottom, but it sits on the floor.

Now I'm just a big nut for air flow and cooling efficiency, but if you care about it as much as I do get this

When I got mine I just ripped the wheels out and put it under my tower. It gives about an inch of clearance from the ground which just makes me feel better about airflow.

You should probably get a stand to put your PC on it. It can suck up too much dust and that can harm your computer.

I recommend this: https://www.amazon.ca/VIVO-Computer-Desktop-Adjustable-CART-PC01/dp/B074P76TBW/ref=sr_1_14?keywords=computer+stand&qid=1564690485&s=gateway&sr=8-14

IO Crest Black Computer Stand with Caster Wheel (SY-ACC65057) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B006V9AUMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XI66xbZT7VSKP

My desk came with a little caddy/tray with wheels made having a define S and r5 so much more manageable! I'm sure Ikea has something like that or even prime able you might want to look into.

Gives a few more inch ground clearance so less dust, easier to move out of the way for general vacuuming again less dust and moving it around is easier when you want to open it or plugin stuff in the back.

Something like this https://www.amazon.ca/VIVO-Computer-Desktop-Adjustable-CART-PC01/dp/B074P76TBW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1564175287&sr=1-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=412jA0TQ6TL&ref=plSrch I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there.

/s

I have the Antec LanBoy Air:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129093

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I have had good luck with it, and it's quite sturdy and has survived a number of LAN party trips.

I also have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Antec-LanBoard-Portable-Computer-Cart/dp/B0041SKBFG

It straps around the case and makes any case portable basically. It's still in the package, so I can't speak to how it is personally. (It was free, as was the case).

Why don't you get something like this?

https://www.amazon.com/Syba-Desktop-Computer-Adjustable-SY-ACC65057/dp/B006V9AUMC

With a shiny case like this, on the ground, buy something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Syba-SY-ACC65029-Castors-Plastic-Adjustable/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=pd_aw_lpo_229_bs_lp_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HY1Z218QD17GMTE0NRBN

Thank me later!

https://www.amazon.com/Syba-Computer-Adjustable-Sy-Acc65057-SY-ACC65057/dp/B006V9AUMC would get your computer off the ground. A piece of plywood would also be plenty if you're just trying to keep it off of carpet.

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 got this for my computer that sits on carpet under desk, it works great, and wheels allow you to easy move it to get to back of machine.

https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Computer-ATX-Case-Adjustable-CART-PC01/dp/B074P76TBW/ref=pd_sbs_147_1/137-6345763-4089760?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B074P76TBW&pd_rd_r=fbf35f06-aee9-4a3d-a9e3-39bb6b426134&pd_rd_w=vHXFU&pd_rd_wg=h4GCj&pf_rd_p=d66372fe-68a6-48a3-90ec-41d7f64212be&pf_rd_r=P79K0D7DWFX3A51394QE&psc=1&refRID=P79K0D7DWFX3A51394QE

It really shouldn't fall over. Everybody I know has it normally and I have never heard of putting it on its side, but I imagine it would raise temps a bit. If you put it on the dresser you should have less issues with dust which will keep temps lower and you won't have to clean it as often. This also goes with putting it on top of the desk. If the first two aren't options then just put it under the desk but try to not have it directly on the ground. Something like this could help with that and make it easy to move around. I wish I had one of those haha I might just have to order one now that I think about it.

That's not true.

CPU was a common term for the tower. So much so that when referring to a device that holds a tower, it was often referred to as a CPU stand.

http://www.amazon.com/3M-Adjustable-CPU-Stand-CS100MB/dp/B000KI8HKC

http://www.staples.com/Staples-Premium-CPU-Stand/product_642214

http://www.newegg.com/shop/cpu-stand.html

Do you think Staples, Newegg, and 3M don't know what a CPU is? Obviously the term has become less and less used but the same argument can be made for people who use the term GPU in place of a video card. Semantics aside, what matters is usage and people's ability to recognize what the person is referring to.

Something like this?

I had this one and its adjustable

Or

You can put it on your desk if you have space

https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Desktop-Computer-Rolling-Adjustable/dp/B003BYRO7O?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

This. I use it to keep the computer off the carpet and allow the psu fan to function properly.

Ideally you'll want at least 2-3 inches of clearance off the ground for the sake of your PSU and 4-6 for every other side that has any sort of air flow just to make sure the air can travel properly. What I did was got a CPU stand like this one and put a plastic mat under it (like the kind you use for wheeled office chairs) to ease getting it out from under my desk for periodic cleaning/dusting.

This nice PC CPU Stand

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

https://www.amazon.com/IOCrest-Adjustable-Foldable-Flexible-SY-ACC65029/dp/B003BYRO7O/ref=sr_1_4?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1506363749&sr=1-4&keywords=pc+stand

But one that fit my computer.

I was considering something like this. The small shelf wouldn't work for a keyboard as it would be too close. A laptop cart would probably work well.

https://www.amazon.com/Techni-Mobili-Height-Adjustable-Graphite/dp/B00WG9A1MK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=Laptop+cart&qid=1554411393&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Not the desk, I am saying you should put your PC on books on the carpet as a temporary solution. If you want you can but a PC stand; something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E69W3U/ref=s9_simh_hd_bw_b4U7o_p229_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-2&pf_rd_r=XCR6PSEM4GMD8803NMZW&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=2223060642&pf_rd_i=1069116

I have this cart that i bought for my pc so it would stay off the ground : https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B074P76TBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

but it haven't used it cause i want to see my glass window pane on the side :(

I bought a mobile stand that's working out pretty well. That being said it does tend to tip just a bit if you push at the top of the case.

I use this to not only lift it from the ground but also give my PC the ability to be moved around easily

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 one of these on my carpet:

I love it.

These things

You need a carpet stand.

I bought this stand from Amazon for my server which is housed in a Fractal Design Define XL.

Stand works well, and includes casters if you want to move it around your desk (if necessary).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYRO7O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pretty generic.

No, I am using this for it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E69W3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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.

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.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006V9AUMC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01

It's metal and sturdy. It also makes your computer look like it's levitating. Works great with the Fractal Design R5, but that's exactly as wide as it will get.

What's an innovative way to keep my midtower ATX off of the floor? I need to move my computer underneath my desk to save space, but I want to keep it slightly off the floor to avoid it getting too dusty. Since it's a carpeted floor, I don't have need for a wheeled caddy. Also, it's not like I need to move the computer.

Maybe a small table would work? I also have a battery backup and subwoofer that I wouldn't mind better managing. Really just want a couple of inches off the floor. The tower is 20 inches tall and the space underneath the desk is 30 inches.

Or just get this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYRO7O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
