There is no need for a grounded mat, if your tower pulls air from under the case, then a hard surface would be recommended. Not many do, but I do have one that has the power supply on the bottom and pulls air up from underneath the tower. I would consider a surge protector or UPS before a static mat under the tower.

That will not be necessary. You only use the static mat when you have the computer opened up and you are working on it. That is why it has a wire for a wrist strap.

Not at all. If the unit getting hot, place a cooler box under, like a lap top.

Jody, yes, the entire tower is cool to the touch. Obviously, if you keep your hand in front where the heat emits, your hand will get hot. I've had my ATH-1 on for the entire winter (it's heating the finished basement) and the tower is cool to the touch.- joe

No, case only, I wouldn't trust a power supply unit in a $40 tower anyway (if it did come with one which it doesn't) but Im just saying, its far to dangerous. Better to get a quality PSU.

if i close my case its fine; im not sure where you hold your case , it might just vibrate , you can spray a bit of wd 40 right where is the fan; let me know how it works

No storage specifically for a tower, your tower will have to sit on the floor under the desk.

I believe you are trying to get at if it is a conductive mat. The mat is non-conductive and shouldn't be an issue. I've done a few repairs on it already where the parts I pull from the PC sit on it with no issue. As for booting up, I'm never a big fan of booting hardware up outside of a case, but it shouldn't cause an issue since it's anti-static as well.

I put an old sheet underneath it just incase that happened. I have light carpet too. So far the sheet has protected.

This depends on the size of your tower. If it is a full size or bigger, you might be okay. However, anything smaller than a full size tower I wouldn not recommend it.

It should be fine. I personally mount my psu the same way to get cool air from the bottom of the case. Just remember to clean your air filter every so often.

I have had no issues with heating as of yet and I'm still running stock fans.I have carpet where my puter sits so I just put a sheet of board underneath it,other than that I've done nothing.

Hi! You will run under carpet without any problem.... this a very well made cable, very sturdy! This specs form the cable: "A copper clad center conductor, dielectric insulation, aluminum braiding and 2 layers of foil shielding, for maximum protection against the hum/static encountered when multiple devices are in close proximity of each other".....

Stock :).. if not then u can always place the fan alittle higher or behind it and let it pull instead of push... or get the corsair liquid cooling etc..

We do not have carpet were the fan is being used but there is some dust on the ceiling fan that we need to clean off now and then. Not sure if it's extra dust kicked up from the tower fan or not. We did buy an electric air purifier that we turn on once in a while. I guess it could be the reason for the dust but the fan isn't causing alarming amounts of it. Not sure if this really answers your question. Sorry.

If I recall correctly I could bottom mount it with the intake fan up or down so I would assume there would be no problems with top mounting it. Though if you mounted it with the intake fan pointing down you would be pulling hot air from inside the case so it is not preferable but it would probably work fine as a lot of proprietary pc's do that.

If it holds up - mine worked great for about a week. Then after that I saw a spark inside the P.S. case and it fried my motherboard.

I called them when delivered months ago ,explaining it was meant to lay atop a low, tight, burnt sienna pile. They said no problem and there hasn't been. You might call the manufacturer to insure your carpet is OK. Take care.
