some advice. GET IT OFF THE FLOOR. put something under it to raise it up. Even if its a few bricks and a board, anything. it will suck all the dust that collects on the bare floor into your computer and clog the fans. Just saying.

my fan is in the front of the case, so thats why i wasn't scared of putting it on the floor. If still, i can put a board on the bottom of it if needed.

I would. doesn't matter where the fan is. it will still suck in the dust. Put the board down, but put something under the board to raise it up some. You want to raise it at least 4 inches to 6 inches.

Plus you want it off the floor because the power supply fan is taking in air from the bottom of the case, and if its on the floor, thats gonna kill the power supply
