Ever since I switched to smaller form factor builds a decade or so ago, I never put it on the floor.
Lately, I keep mine on top of the furniture under the TV, since I tend to do most of my gaming on the couch.
I used to move it to my desk whenever I wanted to use it there, but a while back I set up and VESA-mounted a raspberry pi to the back of my monitor. I use that to to remotely access the PC when I need it. Same with my home server that sits in a closet.

I keep my PC on top of a desk if only for the fact that its shares the same space as my consoles and entertainment center with my LG CX 55.
Also because it's not under a desk and in open air it maximizes it's airflow for more efficient cooling. With that being said, the small space where my Xbox Series X sits only has 17 inches clearance and my PC tower is 20 inches tall so even if I wanted to put my PC under the desk it would not fit anyways. Now if I went for a HTPC setup I could probably manage, but still I prefer to keep my PC out in the open since I like to look inside the case with the glass side panel.
I have a solid wooden desk with 2 sets of pull-out drawers.
However, it houses both my regular monitor, and my 19-inch work laptop.
So the ATX case is parked on the hardwood floor, snugly against the outer wall of the desk. I do clean/dust it once every few months, since the room does have a carpet in it (but it's not touching the PC case).

since others are posting their setups, here's mine. I probably don't have room for a second monitor unless I move my tower. The corner section of my desk has no support to the floor, so I wouldn't trust it with the weight of my PC, as the case is mostly metal and quite heavy. Though for the most part I really haven't felt the need for a second monitor.
On the floor. Hardwood but it does not matter cause the intake is on the bottom and there are magnetic dust filters. The interior of the tower is nearly dust free. The only thing I do with the tower is pressing the power button once though. Everything is connected and what isn't can be through various USB outlets.
Yeah, Ikea.
It's very a common combination in the "battle station world".
If I recall correctly, it's the "LINNMON" with 3 "Adils" (2 on the left side, one centre) and an "Alex" drawers on the right side.
Size, there were some to choose and I chose the ones that best fitted the living room area that was assigned to me by my benefactor (wife).
But if you search around that are people that use kitchen tops in these kinds of setups (from IKEA).
Figured, I recognized the drawers. Going to be changing my desk to that set up (but with double drawers) but unfortunately don't have an ikea nearby. Wanted a visual on the depth of the desk with a monitor on it, thank you!
I can give you details if you need, measurements and that shit. But it's almost 3 am here, so, hit me on pm if you need any of that and I'll reply.
Mine sits ontop of a small drawer/cabinet next to my desk. Best of both worlds. Off the floor and I have all my desk space.
