[G5] G5 on its side - OK?

[Larry Helms]

There should be no problem with laying your computer on it's side.  Apple's
recent (as the the blue/grey plastic enclosures) have been rack mountable.
You can even find companies that build racks for that specific purpose.

Google using this:  G5 rack -Xserve

Here's one where they rack G5's vertically
