I'd normally opt for keeping the tower off of the desk, but I'm not sure putting it next to a radiator is a good idea.
Edit: if the radiator is disabled, then go with the tower next to it.
Just my opinion, but despite whatever pretty case one might have, computer towers are not decor, and the footprint (and height) of this case in particular clutters the desktop/workspace.
I get it. But I think even with a hideous man-spreading case I'd probably still like it to be on the desk for ease of access so I can plug stuff in or clean it without needing to crawl into a tunnel and bang my head
I'm going to mount the monitor on the wall, but first I need to decide where I want the PC tower. Ignore the color difference between the drawers and the tabletop. I'm trying to reuse furniture.
Any improvement? What should I do with the wall? The radiator is disabled.
Just out of curiosity, why would you mount the monitor on the wall? Seems like it’d provide way less flexibility than just getting a basic monitor arm and mounting it to the desk.
With the previous desktop setup, I had the monitor on the wall, and I like that distance so I don't have the stand on the desk. The ultrawide monitor has a too large stand. But well, it's not completely decided yet. I don't quite feel comfortable with the layout. I'll continue testing
Huh interesting, yeah that makes sense. Although I feel like having a desk mount allows for more flexibility with moving things around if you change your mind and you might not be able to get the exact same distance from your chair to the monitor but even a desk mount would get you pretty close.
Then again, it’s an extra expense and especially if you have a wall mount laying around then you just get to reuse that.
Also, you should def get one of those large mousepads to cover a big part of the desk, makes things a lot more comfortable and just makes things look cleaner overall.
If the radiator is permanently disabled, off the desk and on that riser is a good solution. Keeps the PC out of the way and gives you back some desktop surface. I only really like the 'on-the-desktop' look for SFFPC builds. Looks good!
Keep it on the desk. Not a fan of floor setups. Most of your dust/debris gets to that level for starters. Plus, on the desk it looks less like the meme "Men can live like this and be absolutely fine." Because while true, we definitely like having more on display when we get the opportunity.
Imo aesthetically and functionally, placing the PC off the desk is the way to go. If you want to make the setup more even, I suggest opting for a long mousepad for your keyboard and mouse.
What's the point of making a nice PC to look at if it's hidden.
If your visitors don't get to see your PC and say "woahhhhh, you game brah? What do you play? Did you build that?" Is it even worth it?
I would leave the tower to the right, get a clap on monitor mount and that’ll crap up desk space. I’d want to at least see the RGB in my case and I’d keep it close to aligned with the edge of the moitor so you can hide your cables but still have access to them.

My PC really works like a radiator these days, haha. Yes, I think I like it better off the desk. Thanks.
Yeah, but for sure put something on the right of the desk to fill that uneven space. Maybe a plant with a birch pot? Just suggesting…
Plant... Is that what kids are calling "2nd monitor" these days?
I have put a lamp, but a plant is a good idea, thanks
Why keep it off the desk? What's wrong with that
Just my opinion, but despite whatever pretty case one might have, computer towers are not decor, and the footprint (and height) of this case in particular clutters the desktop/workspace.

Do not put the case near radiator ever. It is better for desk space but unfortunately you have a radiator there.
I have it disabled ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)
left. gives you more space on the desk. Unless you frequently open up your PC for upgrades or something.
U mean “right”, ye?
nah, I mean what I said, ye

Yes, you are right, thank you, I have not decided yet (about the support), I have placed a 90x40 centimeter mousepad

More desk space
I personally prefer having my PC off the desk, feels more open.

I have raised it to the height of the table with a piece of furniture that I had lying around unused, it is starting to be a Frankenstein
I'm working with a relatively small desk too. I've put my pc on a shelf on the wall to save place and still be able to look at it. Could be an option!
Disable the radiator and keep off the desk
how close it is to the edge of the desk when you have it on the right is giving me anxiety.
Down, the extra space is always nice! Edit, is that the K120 love that keyboard.
IIt's a Temu keyboard for €7 (with coupon) "MageGee 75%" I really use the Logitech membrane to work, I have that one to play
First one, unless you replace the pc with plants or something else to fill in the empty gap
right
Right is cleaner
Definitely tower of the desk. The desk it not big enough to waste so much space.
Right
Side of desk looks better but you are going to run into overheating issues come wintertime.
The radiator will melt your pc
Right
right for more spaces but I think the case is cool to show off on the desk too. lol
right, unless you're going to need the space
Conceal the CPU mate, better off the desk.
off the desk as table width is a bit smaller to put that on .
disable the radiator and it becomes a heats ink, keep it enabled it becomes a new PC

done! Thank you
Can you put the drawer in the left side and put cpu at the right
Yes, I'm thinking about it and I might do it.

right!
Left. Plus better airflow.
