Recently been pondering about the best positioning for a case; on the desk or under it...?

Don't really know why I was thinking about this but I was none the less, and thought I would like to know what you guys and girls think?

Obviously with my desk being under the window it would be advantageous for me to have my case on my desk for cooling, but as that doesn't really bother me (any more), I'm not sure if loosing the workspace is worth it.

Could we possibly get a poll on this? :)
 
Award for quickest reply in history. But I suppose you're right, the amount of dust that is currently covering the front of my Antec Nine Hundred is quite a considerable amount and I only cleaned it yesterday. The only problem I see personally with it, is that the lights from my mother board would glare onto my screen when I'm watching a movie on it, when in bed, maybe I should test this out...
 
Well I've got a fairly big desk (140cm long x 75cm deep). Case is Antec Nine Hundred, no doubt it'll fit but is there a need to have it on rather than under?
 
Depends on how much access you want to the case, and how often. If you don't need to access it very often, then obviously you can place it 'out of the way'.
 
Mine is on my desk; but its only a smallish tower;

If it goes underneath; I like to put it on a 1" block of wood or similar; just to reduce the hoover effect :p
 
my v2000 wont fit under :D
but suits me as i fiddle about with it a lot so its sits on the desk with the side off pretty much all the time.
previous cases seem to get more dust when they are sat on the floor.
 
Either in the desk (got a sugo on a shelf in one of my units) or on the floor but raised on wheels (I've fitted some lian li wheels to the base of my g50) or similar. As to dust, not a major issue as I clean out my case on a regular basis anyways.
 
mine is on and i have a full desk with tv 2 monitors and laptop case and decks tbh i think on is better unless u really dont have the space but this might just be me
 
My Mozart TX won't fit onto my desk, had to build a high desk for it to fit under it as well :) but is quiet easily accesible to be able to fill my dual res's :)
