Due to desk space constraints, I am playing with the idea of putting my 
desktop style AT-size computer on its side, vertically, like a tower case.

I have seen this done before, but I am hesitant to take a computer designed
to function horizontally and ask it to function vertically.  Problems that
come to mind are:

1)  Proper Cooling

2)  Proper Functioning of Hard Disk and Floppy Disk Drives

I am concerned about long-term reliability.

Does anyone out there have any advice on this subject?  Any personal
experience and observations?

Thank you,
Dan
