I do it that way, my Ultra1 is my firewall machine. I haven't had any problem, but I placed 2 empty DAT boxes (the little plastic ones) under it, to allow some air to flow :) It's running like this since several months (maybe 2 years, I don't remember well), on a 24x24 basis, even during my vacations. -- Erwann ABALEA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My Ultra 10 came with 4 rubber feet so you could use it on its side, and that's how it has been for a few years. Maybe an U1 is the same. Lewis

I used to run my Ultra-1 on its side for a while due to desktop-space reasons, but never for more than a couple of days at a time, so I don't know how it would affect the hardware in the long run. One thing to be careful for though, don't insert a CD in the cdrom-drive, because it will fall through and get stuck..

Running on its side/front? (U1)
Perhaps a stupid question, but has anyone had any problems with running an ultra-1 with the case on its side (or front)? There are some 'holes' in the case at the front of the Ultra-1s; I'm not sure whether these are for ventilation, but there are definite vents on either side. Also, not sure whether the internal drives are picky about the angle they run at! (reduced life?) In fact, apart from the heat-flow design, sideways stacking seems rather useful, for easy access to cables, etc. OTOH, then you lose a 'shelf' ;) OK, so I'm stretching it to fit debian in here ;) (although they are running debian atm!) Any tips greatly appreciated...its apparently not a common query based on the search results ;) -- Neil -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
