What stand or riser works well for a PC tower on carpet?
Asked by

I have a Lian Li LANCOOL 217 INF ATX mid-tower case sitting on carpet, and the bottom intake fan and drive-area fans collect dust quickly. I'd like to raise the case off the floor without putting it on my desk. What stands, platforms, or other solutions have worked well for keeping a tower elevated and improving airflow?
Answers
A sturdy ventilated PC tower stand or a small metal shelving platform should work well. Make sure it’s wide and deep enough for the case, supports its weight, and leaves clearance underneath for the bottom intake. Avoid placing it directly on a solid board or anything that blocks the lower filter.

MellowCedar42: That’s the kind of solution I’m looking for. I mainly want enough clearance to keep the bottom intake from sitting directly against the carpet and collecting dust.
