    hi,

    is it possible to run an Ultra 2 vertically (as sgi's Indigo2, which came
    with the appropriate stands)?

    if it stands on its left side (seen from the front of it), AFAICS the airflow
    comes in from the bottom (or the left side) and is pulled out through the PSU
    (see [1]).

    to meet the requirement of an appropriate airflow, the system would get some
    'stands' similar to those sgi provided with their Indigo2 systems.

    is there anything which is _against_ this? anybody with experiences on this?

    thanks in advance,

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and 
those who don't.
