the title sums it up but feel free to read on for the inconsequential details...
I just ordered parts for my first build (which are still stuck in processing, pissing me off...but i digress). My case, (nxt Phantom) which i ordered separately, arrived today and besides making me more anxious for the rest of my parts, it made me realize I'm not sure where to stick this thing. The last tower computer I owned was a dell and when I opened that up after 5 years it looked like a squirrel built a nest / haunted house inside. Most of that computers life existed on carpet, so now I'm not sure where I should put this thing. It would look pretty ridiculous stuck on top of my desk. But it's got a big fan on the bottom and the mesh shield has pretty big holes. I don't want to stick a giant ugly plastic mat under my desk, but how bad would it to just let it sit on carpet?
