Probably not as the case needs the air to be able to circulate around it , a PC runs hot and needs to cool itself with the fans inside of it. Place it on a board if you must set it on the floor. A carpet is an insulation and will keep some of the heat in. Cooler is better with a computer.

Another factor that appears when a tower is located on carpet is dust. Carpet caches dirt and dust better than most people think. The airflow of your fans and cooling system inside your tower can suck this into the case, covering the delicate array of electronics over time. This may increase the running temperature of certain processors, including your CPU, GPU and NICs which increases their likelihood of failure. Dust covered circuits are also more prone to static buildup, which may discharge and short components during startup and shutdown of the tower.

Can you put a refrigerator on carpet?

You could, but it's not advisable. Moisture content from the compressor has to go somewhere - usually into the drip pan, but if that overflows, it's going to wind up in the carpet, which acts like a sponge and will harbor that stale water and the associated odors until you can move the fridge and clean up the spills. Also, and spilled food inside the fridge, if it leaks out onto the carpet, could stain the carpet and/or leave bad odors in the carpet. Best to put the fridge on a surface other than carpet if at all possible.
