Sub place is definitely not in the air.

I would put it by the right side of table, but on outside side of table, not inside like you want.

btw, you didnt code link correctly. Click Edit to edit your post and then remove URL tags inside CODE tags, so there is only CODE tags.

Pic no.2 is the best place

Right bottom for sure.

I'd generally advise on the Floor somewhere. Also the "Air Hole" could do with NOT being blocked by anything (maybe facing you?)

Floor will make it seem louder etc, however can bug your neighbours alittle more... depending how your house is attached (if attached) to your neighbours.

Avoid to close to your tower, if you have a standard HDD (not ssd), it can sometimes cause some issues, mine did a couple of times
I don't know if it was because of vibrations or magnetics.

possibly outside like mbbest said.
definitely not near your CPU

Down on the floor close to the wall.
Cool speaker set! I just love those 2.1 combos (dumb question: we only have 2 ears , what's the use for 7.1 anyways?)

Thanks for your comment I didn't intended of placing the sub in mid air, I installed a self there and as for now I hear very good so I don't think I will replace it mostly because its looks way better above the screen.

I can upload a pic if you want.

Make sure that installed self is stable and heavy resistant to vibrations, and sub attached to it because sub will start slowly to move and......you don't want sub falling down on you PC :)

Anyway, important thing is that you are happy with how it performs in place where it stands.

I do :]. and don't worry I installed it in a way that the self itself is directed abit to the roof so any vibrations will only take the sub closer to the wall and not the opposite ^^.

thanks again. thread closed.

Wherever it sounds the best. There is an argument for putting it closer to the main speakers, since the crossover frequency may be high enough that some speech frequencies will come from the subwoofer. If that is the case, then putting the sub in the corner behind the monitor isn't a terrible idea.
