Installed a vent into the desk with a high powered fan underneath.

Figured we joked about it enough, but this thing keeps my office snug & warm throughout winter without having to expend a single extra cent in heating.

Air will stagnate in a confined space - even with the PC fans, as they're designed to move air, not generate pressure.

I find it really annoying that pc makers defaulted to fans instead of compressor wheels, which can move the same volume of air with less noise, in my experience... Technically regular fans are less noisy for the same CFM but I've found in most PC's you need far more fan to achieve the airflow needed because they lack static pressure.
