But carpets are really good at trapping dust pet hair and all manner of other things.
Is it okay to have my pc on carpet.
As stated in the other answers dust at the floor.
Hi i just built my computer and i am wondering if i can keep it on the carpet i can t really put it in my desk or else it will stick out.
I have it on a plastic lid rn but it gets in the way of my chair.
And if you don t have any carpet at all this isn t a concern.
The current trend is to get your computer up off the carpet and onto your work surface.
Your computer would be at the most risk of static damage when you place it on the carpet move it on the carpet or pick it up off the carpet.
Generally not good you need ventilation to avoid overheating dust clogs in said ventilation.

However that being said i don t think it s a fire hazard or anything so it s probably safe also if your machine begins to get clogged with dust.
Your pc will be just at home sitting on a flat floor as it would on a flat desk.
Is bad ventilation an issue.
If the carpet is a problem consider putting it on a platform or stand on the carpet.
But this isn t always possible and many people leave their computer tower on the floor often on carpet.
Is the static generated by the carpet a threat.
It is also equally as bad to place directly on carpet as that increases dust levels greatly and also blocks the psu power supply unit from underneath airflow.
This isn t the best option for various reasons and you should really have your pc tower on a computer stand.
But ultimately is is completely safe to have your pc on the carpet.
Also i think if i put my computer in my desk it will.
Sure you can it s fine.
Just want to get a second opinion.
And your computer well it s a giant vacuum cleaner.
I ve seen some people have the computer in a cupboard desk suffocating itself in a hot pocket of static air.
Can you put a pc tower on carpet.
Avoid placing your tower pc on thick carpet.
