I use my tower at home sitting on the desk top and prefer it that
way.  Floppy access is at eye level when sitting (maybe someday I'll
move the floppies into the lower drive bays so they are a tad lower)
and I never have junk blocking access to the floppies like you do
if you put the case under the monitor.  Having it up off the floor
makes for fewer dust problems, and also keeps it away from the
"little hands" in the family.  I would not want a desktop case:
having it stand on the desk takes up a lot less desk.
