Well NCR apparently approves placing their PC's either on their
side or on end. In our facility I'd say 90% are standing on end.
Recently some of the service people from another facility have
noticed a rash of hard drive failures in systems standing on the
floor. They note that in every case the inside of the system was
extremely dusty and blame the problem on dust. Don't know what brand
of disk drives are being used.
