will my G5 blow-up if i do this....
i was wondering if the G5 can be run on its side..... BUT NOT THE LEFT SIDE.
I want to put it on its right side (the side with the door) so that the CD drive is near the opening side of my ISO box. Anyone know if this is going to cause me problems??? |

Re: will my G5 blow-up if i do this....
The G5 manual says not to operate it horizontally. It doesn't say what will happen if you do, but it probably isn't a good idea if you want your G5 to continue to operate reliably...

Re: will my G5 blow-up if i do this....
This question prompted me to do a quick check at www.marathoncomputer.com
I was surprised that they have a deskmount, but they don't have a rackmount for the G5. That may be the reason why. Anyway, a couple of folks on their forums asked about a possible 19" rack for the G5: http://www.marathoncomputer.net/foru...topic.php?t=40 Those forums might be a good place to get more technical info on this issue, as I would imagine the Marathon folks know the answer. I just couldn't find it on their site.

Re: will my G5 blow-up if i do this....
I went to a pre release of the G5's at Apple. The tech there said that the airflow was designed around 4 horizontal streams - hence the grate on the front, and the separate fans. He advised only to run the machine in the upright position.
for whats it's worth ...
