Hello there, I want to move my PC from under my desk for the summer, since it produces tremendous amounts of heat, which makes my gaming experience unpleasant. I have a picture of my setup area as an attachment, as well with some notes to help you guide yourself and answer some questions.

I would say that you could first start by clearing out unwanted stuff from the area. If you don't use the drawers, you could maybe take them out and place it in there.

Impossible. They provide strength to the desk, and i don't really wanna mess with that kind of stuff. I was thinking about removing the box, and placing it there.

It's hard to decide really as my pc is on my desk. You could probably place it where the box is but that should be a permanent place. If you really want a better location, I would recommend getting a completely new desk with a hanging area where you can place the pc so it has good airflow.

nope. There is no way something like this. No budget here.

Maybe try rearrange your desk or place it to the right of your monitor?

is there as risk of it falling?

I have my pc on my desk ( would provide pic but not at home ). It sits there perfectly fine, all you will have to do is remove the stationery you have on the desk.

 

but the side panel is an open one, forgot to mention that.

You mean it has a glass panel on the side? If so I have a "Glass Panel" on my case and instead of hiding it, putting on the desk will show it off more

no, it is actually open. It has holes.

So, I placed the pC where The box was, I got rid of the problem. Thanks for answering!
