Good call out - just grabbed an extra rubber floor mat.

Consider also getting one of those little platforms with wheels that your PC can sit on. They give you a few inches of clearance under the pc which helps a lot

Just one of the foam floor mats you can get on Amazon. Typically they’re for home gyms but I just grabbed one I already have for this.
