[mythtv-users] lay down pundit-r?

[emory]

keep in mind that if you need to use any of the inputs in the front
(SPDIF, PCMCIA, etc), the front door is difficult if not impossible to
open when the pundit is lying flat on a surface.  You might want to
hang it over a ledge if you need to open the door.

The other consideration, if you are using a hot processor, is that the
ventilation may not be as good (not that the ventilation is all that
good to begin with).  There are holes on the "bottom" of the pundit
(when standing upright) that are meant to draw cold air from outside,
which then gets sucked upwards through the case by the CPU and PSU
fans.  If you are using a 7200 RPM hard drive, this could also get
really hot (it's fairly warm when the pundit-r is upright), as it sits
flush against what would be the bottom of the case if you laid it
flat.
