Because PC's love being on the carpet, right?

Any reccomendations on how to get my PC off the carpet so im not clogging the intake?

I've got a Lancool 2 and unfortunately underestimated its size and it won't fit anywhere near my desk so its just sat next to me. Luckily the Lancool does have raised feet so its not flush to the carpet and ive put a small wooden plate under the intake itself but wondered if anyone had any better solutions?

Put it on a larger piece of wood and keep the whole thing off the carpet.

I use a spare wall tile I had left over from doing the bathroom. Its porcelain, perfect fit under the case and was free.

Just get a bit of plywood or something and a 2x2" batten, cut in to 6" lengths. Screw each length into the corners and make a low table.
Sand, smooth, shape and decorate to your preference.

Suspend it from the ceiling on wires

I just got a cheap bamboo bathroom duck board for mine to sit on, got it from the rainforest for about £15

My original plan was to use a Skogsta cutting board from IKEA and attach Eket feet (My plan was to use the hole in the chopping board for cable tidying)
They weren't in stock so ended up getting a Lappviken drawer front instead.

Issue I didn't anticipate with my new desk was the clearance when I added the cable baskets, just about fits my Enthoo Pro M under there.

I made a stand for mine
Leftover black floating shelf I had
And some nice 50mm castors of ebay
For my new pc I just put the 50mm castors straight on with out the shelf
Not only raises it off the floor
But makes moving the pc a lot easier
As its heavy

I found some old Guinness book of records in the loft and stacked them up

Sure if you've had to deal with this kind of thing before. I'm not much above the level of "Put your PC in a bathtub full of cold water to help with cooling"
