    That can’t be good for spinning rust platters. You’re putting off axis radial loads on those bearings.

      These days they could definitely be 100% solid state, though probably also not good for fan bearings.

    Why do you have it that way and not the more standard way of rotated 90 degrees from what you have?

      If you mean by laying it on its side, I did it because the case has punch out side panels. They’re both plexi glass too, so I assume it would shatter under the weight of this pc. (~40kg)

        no… just make the computer face you so it’s flat on the floor…

          I was thinking the same thing, but the pc is almost as long as the triangle wall, so imo it’s not as space efficient, even if it’s less jank

            Can you post more pics? It’s hard to make out the shape of the computer and space available. I’m interested to see how this is the more space efficient way.

    I don’t think angles are very good for hard drives unfortunately. Make the PC parallel with the table leg?

    Yes. Every part of this image is jank. If it works, it works!
