Ive got a new 5.1 system and am thinking of changing my PC setup as everything is a little cramped and the Sub has to be kept 2 ft away from the CPU,im thinking of putting it on the floor beside my desk on a rubber mat,my floor has no carpet,

Just remember to put filters on your intakes so you don't take in too much dust.

Pro: cooler air cuz cold air tend to stay lower to the ground

Con: it'll suck more dirt and dusts...fan filters would be great :D
