Yeah, noise is one of my concerns too, when it's on the floor you hear it "more silently".

i don't really mind, since my only audio source is headphones. so i always have headphones on. besides a pc like mine that consumes 500 - 600 watts or more under load needs decent cooling...

Noise should not be a big issue for modern PCs, (if yo are using stock cooler from intel)

get some quiet fans running at low rpm, customize fan curve could help. and the case seals off most noise too

 

I can barely hear any sound unless PC is under full load, a test bench on a table 3m away

Yeah I'm still with my Stock Cooler and i7 7700 runs really hot so when I'm gaming heavy tittles the CPU cooler tends to get loud (need to change it asap).
But if I do light gaming or productivity stuff it's really quite, despite being able to hear the HDD

for me the stock cooler is annoying because if i'm using a system that uses one and i do something, say i open firefox and it starts reloading all of my tabs, it ramps up immediately.

 

this was with an i5 7400...

i imagine with a 7700... does that cpu even come with a stock cooler? or is it only the K that doesn't?

moar is required, lurk moar, post moar, buy moar monitors...

it's simple!

I dont put my computer on the floor coz I will kick it.

[Sett]

Neither. It's too noisy and take too much space on the desk, but it sucks in dust like nobody's business when sitting on the floor, so my baby Frankenstein sits ubder the the desk on old box, some 30-ish cm above the ground. Not that it helps all that much....

[Pickles von Brine]

Mind is on my desk next to me. Keeps dust to a minimum and gives me leg room. Then again my room is a catastrophe ATM... (RIP ADHD)

My PC's tower is where it is (in the pics) cause I don't really have anywhere else to put it.  

 

  

(The FD is my current case.  Still have the Thor, but no longer using it, haven't figured out how best to get rid of it.)

 

 

    

(The above 2 pics were taken different dates.  The one n the left is more recent.)

 

 

And, once in a while it's probably a good idea to give my system a bit of a touch-up cleaning.

I don't exactly prefer either, but once I put my chinese 5050 RGB strips that I found from my closet into my case I put the pc on my table so that I can admire it.

If you stack some of the stuff on top of each other woldn't it make some more room for the pc ? ;d

[Mooshi]

I use an itx cube, of course it goes on the table. 

[Giganthrax]

Desk.

[SimplyChunk]

On my desk

[Phentos]

The necromancy is real.

 

Anyway I always keep my PCs on my desk. I had a flood happen in my house a couple years ago and my old PC was on the floor at the time. Managed to avoid damage but bought a new desk the following day...
