    On my desk which it why it's called a "DESKTOP."

  • On the floor. It makes too much noise and takes up too much space for me to want it on the desk.

    Neither.  It's sitting on top of an old TV in a closet in the basement.

    Computers can't sit as they have no way to bend.  My computer is standing on a desk and it's really looking tired.

    Well, it is on my desk, but doesn't it have "feet" technically?

    I never thought you'd be the one to give me a straight answer.

    After being confused at all the other answers, maybe I figured out my ignorance. That computer tower thing of mine is on the floor. I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to anything that is technology.
    I assume my computer is on the floor -- it's a little tower -- and the monitor is on the desk. Sorry for interrupting, Zack and my2cents. Your question obviously caught me, Zack.

    Floor. I built it myself.

    You built your own computer?  Really? Or did you build the floor?  Either way, I'm impressed.

    I built the computer.  Everything is plug-and-play these days so it's actually NBD. There's a computer parts supply store just a few blocks from my home, and it's cheaper than buying a complete unit.

    I can barely remember when and when not to push the button to turn it on!  I don't if I leave the monitor up and I do if I close the top.  Or is that backwards?  Heck, I normally just leave it on and not worry about it. It goes to sleep after a while if I don't play on it.   
    That's awesome Slartibarfast. :) :)

  • Plus building it yourself means you can make it to fulfill your needs ... without a bunch of stuff you're never going use.  :) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at August 30, 2018 12:05 PM MDT

    I must be missing something but geographically speaking, my computer wire is plugged into a strip on the dining room floor.  The monitor, keyboard, and guts are sitting on our glass dining room table. The strip goes into an outlet in the dining room wall which somehow goes into cyberspace and talks to all your happy computers.

    I built a special desk in the lounge corner - it's fitted to the wall in places. Most of the wood was salvaged from old laminated-chipboard furniture panels, 16mm plywood and odd lengths of batten that previous house owners had left behind. 

    The tower case stands (having read the comments above!) below the table top, on a low pedestal that also forms a small cupboard for ancillary equipment. 

    The desk is long enough to hold the A3 printer I bought for CAD use, alongside the monitor, plus room for the telephone and an inevitable assortment of papers, pens, a screwdriver, bit of wood, a bottle of shredder oil, the tea mug... 

    A shelf sufficiently high above the A3 machine for the cover to open, holds paper stocks and the radio. The router and A4 printer stand on a lower shelf above the monitor.

    The keyboard is on a sliding shelf that projects to the right to give space for the mouse to run around. The slides were also from those furniture fragments.

    The usual spaghetti of leads is below and behind the desk but not exactly invisible.

    The electrics are handled by a strip-board plugged into one of a double switched socket - the other socket holds the radio plug. When I get around to it (Round Tuits are available from stockists of Spare Minutes and Odd Moments...) I've a set of mains sockets and switches to install, to replace the strip-board with something more elegant.
