I think this came up ages ago, but does anyone know whether it will mess
up drive alignment to stand an Amiga on it's end?  This would be a Good
Thing if you want to stick a noisy fan under a desk.  It would take up 
a lot less space, but it may require some custom cables to make everything
reach.  Has anyone got any success or failure stories in doing this?
