Other than being careful not to block the air vents, you only have
one worry -- your internal har disk drive.  Apparently Seagate drives
can not be stood on the end (this gleened from other postings).  On
the other hand, I called Jasmine and CMS, and they said there was no problem
at all.  Jasmine recommended that you format your HD in the orienatation
that you plan to use it.

I've used a kensington stand since I got my mac II (last May) and have
had no problems.  Why don't you try one of these?
