Currently, my PC tower is on top of my desk, but the idea of putting it in this little cabinet (see picture) crossed my mind. In terms of actual dimensions, the cabinet is definitely big enough. Though is this a good idea?

Hi,

 

This will probably create a black hole and destroy Earth if you do that by the lack of airflow.

 

TLDR : no.

Dang... clean your floor up if you're going to put your PC lower to the ground.

if you remove the door on that cabinet sure. if you do not do that, it will block airflow and overheat the pc

Agree, I created my TV/media cabinet, and have some PCs/servers in them, as long as you're able to draw fresh air in, and vent it should be OK. Mine are absolutely just the same as being out of the cabinet.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
