Desktop tower floor stand

So I have a desktop PC tower and currently it is sitting on my desk and I want to move it to the floor.

 

I need something for it to sit on because the floor is carpet (about an inch high).

An office mat won't suffice as it's too small (for desktop pc, desk and the chair)

 

So I am indeed of a solution for what to stand it on.

 

Cheers, Jonathan

I am trying to steer away from wood.

 

I was thinking something on the lines of a glass base with like desktop tower feet?

Yeah I've done the same just go and find a piece of wood that's not being used and just cut it to size, for me about 54cm for the Define S, and then just put it under your desks and now the PSU fan and other's can breath a lot better without collecting dust, hope this helped.

 

Edit: If you want to use glass you might have a harder job to cut it if its way to big, but yeah glass will work just fine :)

Something like this would be perfect but I have a fractal R5 case.

 

The dimensions are: 327 x 540mm

 

Scratch that, the dimensions are: 232 x 521mm. This is perfect!!

Just a suggestion you might need a bigger one made out of thicker acrylic though, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-Acrylic-Monitor-Computer-TV-stand-Riser-Display-Shelf-/111724806186?hash=item1a0351402a this is what I use to use when my pc was on the floor.

I just put it side ways next to my desk and sat the pc on top.
