I am planning a build for Black Friday/Christmas ish but I already have my case, the glorious white NZXT Phantom (222 x 540 X 623 mm). I also have a desk, seen here: TechniMobili Multi Function espresso. The desk dimensions for the little 'CPU' cubby is 10.25" x 16.5" x 18.5". For those of you who don't like doing conversions see the following illustrative photo

Note the blue is the current interior dimensions of the desk while the white is well, you get the idea. So if you take a look at the photo of the desk you will notice I can easily remove the top of the space to open up more height room but even with that one shelf removed their is still not enough height to clear the case. I have a carpet floor so that's not really a possibility... Ideas? Are their cheap case stands I can put it on that will allow ventilation or?
 
Anyone have ideas for modding the desk/other ideas to setup my case without harming ventilation?
 
I'm assuming the obvious solution of placing the case next to the desk is out of the question.
-sell the case and mount components in the desk
-trade case for a smaller one
-new desk or additional furniture that fits the case
 
Cut a perfectly sized wood plank and put it under the system? That's what I did for my FT03 (though it was completely unnecesary for the FT03's design).
 
I thought that putting the case on the floor would cause it to quickly become a dust bomb?
