Leaving it just on the carpet is safe but not recommended.
Is it bad to leave your computer on the carpet.
An ex girlfriend of mine kept her computer right on the floor and when we moved from it hardwood floors to carpet her computer literally would not start while sitting on the carpet.
Sure you can it s fine.
I can vacume around my computer that way i can have my psu be facing down because i vacume nearly 3 4 times a week.
Its really not that bad.
I have my own carpet cleaning machine so i don t need to hire a professional.
Keeping the pc will leave it less exposed to dust that gathers on the floor this is a bigger problem if you have a carpet.
Most laptops generate and vent heat through the bottoms of the units.
This is very bad if the air is supposed to flow into or out of the computer through the bottom of the case.
A bad carpet cleaning job can leave your carpet worse off than it was to begin with.
As stated in the other answers dust at the floor.
Lol my computer is on a carpet dont worry about as long as you open it up once a year or so and clean dust its will be alrite.
There s a science to balancing airflow through.
And your computer well it s a giant vacuum cleaner.
But carpets are really good at trapping dust pet hair and all manner of other things.
Thanks for all your opinions in this thread.
Can you put a pc tower on carpet.
Or a book under both sides letting it hover above the carpet.
I slid a piece of cardboard under there and it was fine.
If you must leave it like this try placing a book under the end of it to keep the heat from building up.
Although having your own machine is useful for small stains and routine cleaning most home machines don t have the suction power professional machines do.
Unless you leave it in the middle of.
Your computer would be at the most risk of static damage when you place it on the carpet move it on the carpet or pick it up off the carpet.
And if you have a window in the case you can admire the computer while your game loads.
