- I am using my A3000 side-up as a "quasi-tower" for 2 years now.
- No problem.
- A friend of mine used his A2000 this way. Also no problems.
- Another friend of mine tried to use his A2000 the other side up
- (that means with the disk-drive on the upper side) -- it didn't
- work.
- So: Try it, it should work the one or the other way.
-
- I use keyboard and mouse adapter cables of approx. 2 meter. Works
- fine.
-
- Hope that helps.
