I was thinking about this so I thought I would ask the first question...Is it safe to sit the computer on the floor if your computer room or office has carpeting...my case has plastic legs on it but the carpet is still long enough that it would make periodic contact with the case. I am concerned with static discharge....should I put either a piece of plastic or wood between the case and the carpet? both materials are non conductive. I currently have 1 sitting on a shelf below my desk...the machine in question sits on a modified milk crate... I do know that it is not recommended to put a computer in the "cubby hole" in the newer desks that have the door on the front because this keeps all the heat inside.....what are your thoughts and suggestions.
