Hey all -- i made a post on the general discussion forum, and I was hoping to receive a slightly more official / direct answer! I definitely could have been more specific with my inquiry, so I'll do so here:

1. I just received a Bolt X. I was wondering if I can lay the machine on it's side - rather than have it standing up vertically? Would doing so have any adverse effects to the machine's health or longevity?

2. If the Bolt X can be kept horizontal .... is there a specific side I should have on the bottom? E.g. the glass side or the non glass side.

Thanks in advance for any feedback, and I put my specs below in the event any components affect the answer(s)!

- Andrew

 The pc should be placed with the open (acrylic) side for viewing whether on its side or standing up Strong so you can enjoy its innards.
If you want an official answer, you will have to contact DS directly. We are only DS users that like to help but do not work for DS.
On mine the mobo is upside down so.....

Thanks for the replies, all. I appreciate the answers and thanks for clearing up the "official" non official. Just a little new-machine paranoia taking over haha.
