No reason to do that, as long as stuff goes over the table it will stay that way

depends on how youre defining price. memory/storage is at its lowest point atm. CPUs are extremely competitive and AMD still ridiculously supports the AM4 platform. Monitor specs/price point are constantly dropping.
the only rhing that hasnt depreciated much is high end Nvidia gpus, because of AI reasons.

Now that EVGA does not product Nvidia cards anymore I don’t find much reason to purchase Nvidia over Amd now.

Why? Evga cards were cool but once in your computer they perform just the same as other AIB’s.

evga has a following because being a U.S based company, they had the best warranty service. the major brick and mortar taiwanese brand giants (Asus/MSI/Gigabyte) have a storied history about how stingy they are about RMAs for expensive products.
take for example hardware defects.
when Asus had the x3d fuck up, they tried to put text saying using their beta bios would void your warranty. when evga had things like the exploding 980tis and to a lesser extent, 1080ti, they basically no question replaced them, sometimes for a better gpu.

Storage is on the rise, 1tb for $100 is the norm again.

its on the rise because it was very recently at its lowest point. Nand prices were absurdly low, and if it was at its lowest point, that implies it had to have been lower than previous prices, especially covid.

Your PC is a bit less dusty on your desk. If it’s extremely heavy (eg, custom watercooling), you might want to put it on the floor. My standing desk started sagging ominously under the load.

I put mine on the desk for better Wi-Fi signal and so my cats would stop messing with the cables. I have a huge desk though.

Get that PC off the desk!
Should you not have PC on your desk? Where should you put your PC? Genuine question.
Mine’s on the floor under the desk.
But that way you get more dust inside your pc
It can take it.
Okay, but what’s wrong with putting it on the desk?
Clutters up the desk!
