Na!
Kick them into the corner of the cubical under the desk - with the ventilation
holes tight against the partitions!
Get a new PC every 6 months that way.

I read, a long time ago, so don't have a reference for it, that for every six
inches off the floor, the amount of dust ingested by fans is halved. I have
seen PCs destroyed by dust on the motherboard. This might be less of a problem
now, with fanless PCs, but we also need to consider rogue janitors with vacuum
cleaners (ESD) and carpet cleaners (water and cleaning fluid). I have seen PC
destruction from both.
PCs do not belong on floors. They belong at or above desk level.
