In article <10@idunno.UUCP> ted@idunno.UUCP (Ted Park) asks how folks
orient their stand-on-end DN3000's.

We bought a bunch of floor stands, figuring that Apollo probably
designed them to hold the systems right side up.  If you don't want
to pay for the stands, you can still put the vents at the correct,
floorward side by sticking a couple of bricks or a thick phone book
under the system unit, carefully avoiding the vents.  We only did
this when we could also lean the top or bottom of the system unit
flat against a wall or pedestal desk.

We eventually bought the floor stands because I was afraid that some
graduate student would see the phone book only part way under the
system and "fix" it.
