Is it safe to lay my tower computer on its side?

I wouldn't because IDE cables and power connectors may come in contact with the fan. Also cards may come loose.

It's not really recommanded, but if you do, lay it on it's right side, as it would be less harmful than on the left side.

As soon as everything is attached firmly (cards cables fans etc.) you may lay it upside down if you want (it wouldn't affect anyhting - maybe just CD-ROM :) )

Right. We hang ours in a wire vegetable basket, from the ceiling, on its side. Doesn't seem to bother anything. Except the monkey inside.
He doesn't like onions.

dpfarquard,

First of all, WHY would you want to lay your PC tower on its side??

I also have a 4100, and unless you're trying to conserve space or something, I would leave it upright, as that's why Dell made it that way.

Any MORE questions?
