Should the Mac Pro desktop be placed on the desk or floor?

If it were only that simple. We have cats and that takes dust and debris to a whole new level.

The funny thing is I have always kept my computers on the floor and have never had any problems with dust.

But then I don't spend a lot of time cleaning and dusting my house.

My partners mother on the other hand is constantly cleaning her house and dusting and her computers always get chock full of dust....

So simple solution.... put it on the floor and stop cleaning your house

On the floor unless the floor is covered in carpet.

That's given me a brilliant idea for Apple's new product; a new vacuum cleaner . I shall call it iSuck™!!!

I have the Under Desk Mount from KAE Corporation. Very well made, works perfectly. Keeps the Mac off the floor and under the desk. Cheaper than the alternatives. http://www.kaecorp.com/store.html

I have my MP in another room. Using 10m dvi, usb and audio cables. Gotta love 0 noise.

Its right next to me on my desk, like 30cm away.
Had it on the floor before, was full of dust. Now its way less dust.

Duct tape and paint work wonders

One of my favorite expressions is that gaffer tape and zip ties hold the world together (and if you saw my motorbike you would understand even better) but even I draw the line at gaffer taping a mac pro to the underside of a table......zip ties, on the other hand could work

Mine sits on the floor, it is lino so no real issues, other than my 20 month old walking along and liking to push the power button at inopportune times.... like when I am transferring files....

System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Allow power button to put the computer to sleep

Problem solved.
