The most veteran will remember those horrible furniture with a section to place the PC tower and that its cables will not bother aesthetically and unfortunately I think that many desks were sold with this configuration, many people even came to see it as something normal. Another example is boxes on the ground or with a stove nearby. 3 disastrous examples to make of our computer.
How to position the computer correctly
If you have just bought a new PC and you do not know where to place it as a fixed position, take into account the 3 points that we leave you below, if you want the system to last much longer and you can enjoy and use it for longer
Do not box the tower of your PC
There is a tendency, wrong, to place computer towers boxed in or on the ground by many people and it is nothing more than an involuntary error or that has been learned over time due to the fact that an aesthetic has been imposed, for part of people without computer knowledge. In other words, it has been shown many times in a photo and that has been understood as something common and ordinary. The problem? It is that this is a fallacy, since what is usual is not always good.
Let’s start from the fact that a tower computer requires constant quality cooling that is not obstructed or hindered by any type of external element. In the same way that you do not box a microwave, you should not do it with a PC for the simple fact that if its ambient temperature is higher than normal, its security measures will be activated, which include drops in the speed of component clock and with it a worse performance than the system should have.
Don’t leave him on the ground either
The other ordinary mistake when placing the computer is to leave it on the floor where dust and dirt usually accumulates and increases the chances that it is inside the tower, it has caused a rise in the internal temperature of the hello box. Although we not only have to take into account the issue of cooling, if you do not have accessibility the fact of having the front control panel of the computer at hand in order to access both the front USB ports and the power button and mini jacks.
In order to make updates and replacements, it is much better to do them on a table than on the floor to avoid losing screws and to have everything more orderly. What’s more, if you have a pet, remember that any small object on the ground can be dangerous for it and the same goes for small children. Not to mention that upgrading the tower is a table, it is much more comfortable to load the connections and it will not force you to load and unload the box by weight to bring it to the ground and bring it is the same
Watch out for nearby heat sources when placing the computer
The third place where you should not place your computer is near a heat source. Especially in winter, which is when small stoves are used to heat the room in which we find ourselves. Since they are so close to the tower, they will cause the tower to suck in much hotter air than it should. Let’s not forget that the air in the room is what the fans inside the case use to cool its internal components.
