Moving my pc from ontop of the desk to below it. Should I give it more ground clearance uptop or keep it as it stands now? 

Example:

And yeah.. Those are books.

 

Currently there's 2x 140mm intake and 3x 120mm going out at the topvent.

 

Will put a 140mm at the front bottom in the future or very near future if I feel its needed.

Should be fine. It would even be fine on the tile unless you frequently have water in there.

Why even bother with that lol, airflow does not change when case  is 15 cm above the floor unless you are using it on a carpet or something.

Lucky not, but there have been accidents. Just don't want it on the complete floor to suck up dust😎

Dust removal would be more of a pain. Its been on the carpet once and I'm never taking it near one after it.

I completely get you there. Is your leg room ok with it on the inside of the desk leg?

One of the reasons I built a slightly wider desk and made risers so I could have the tower on top of the desk to give me more leg space.

Enough space for now, kind of regret moving the pc downstairs.. Cant sit wide open with my legs nearing the summer now x)

 

Only good thing is having good space above the case for the mouse and perhaps a third monitor.. (What the actual table was built for 🙂 )
