There appears to be nothing official from Sun on whether or not putting the
Ultra 5 on its side will cause problems, but several of the above people said
they had tried it with no ill effects. A couple expressed concerns about the
CD falling out with the unit on its side, but the CD tray in the Ultra 5 has
little plastic "fingers" which would hold the CD in place. One suggestion was
to place it with the power supply uppermost (which would mean putting the
machine on its left side) to help with heat dissipation.
Thanks again to all who answered!
