OT Computer question
W1800 E-machine. It's about 7 years old--getting ancient in computer years.
Thanks! Michelle in Nevada wrote: Michelle Email me the name / model number of your PC. I will try downloading a setup manual Mike A "Michelle C." wrote in message ... Well, it's sort of OT. I'm trying to get more space in my sewing room and realized one thing that would help is if I could set my computer tower on its side and put it on a shelf, instead of having it on top of the table where it now sits. Does anyone know if it is safe to put a computer on its side? Thanks! Michelle in Nevada |

OT Computer question
I'm not sure we're all singing from the same page here. My hp stands 'tall
/ skinny'; is that what you mean by standing on its side? And I laughed when I finally realized what Frank meant about the cup holder. The cup holder on the hp is also in a tall / skinny setup rather than down flat to decently hold a coffee cup. Polly "Michelle C." wrote in message ... I'm beginning to gather that this is a feature that may be specific to Dells. The tower I saw on its side was a Dell. |

OT Computer question
We have our Dell standing 'upright' but on the right hand side there are
no air vents but it has 4 feet so it can go flat and then you can use the coffee cup holder. At the moment it is only useful for CDs and DVDs which are quite happy to sit upright. The name stickers on it though obviously expect you to have it upright - I suppose this is the commonest way to save space!

Hi Mike,
Yes, I'm fairly certain after the discussion that the emachine tower is designed to be upright. Thanks!

By upright, I mean standing tall and skinny. :-) Michelle in Nevada Polly Esther wrote: I'm not sure we're all singing from the same page here.
