Desktop on Carpet - what do you guys do for venting?

I just built a new desktop and it had a bottom-mounted PSU. The weight dug into the carpet so there was no airflow.

I looked at my other CPU - and same problem. So I resorted to putting a game box under the feet at the back to give some vent room.

What do you guys do with bottom-mounted PSU's to give some vent room?

    I've been doing the same thing as AP for several years now. It ain't rocket science.
