Can I turn my workstation style computer (HPDX5150S) on its side to make a towerstyle?
I bought a new desktop computer for my parents, who are not technically minded. Their crammed computer desk only allows for a vertical, tower style desktop, but the computer I bought is horizontal, workstation style. Can I just flip it on its side? I realize the CD/DVD player will now be sideways, but they almost never use those things. As long as the fan is not blocked for cooling the computer, do you know of any issues that will result in long-term sideways positioning?
Thanks so much!
There is no reason why you cannot turn the case on its side. As you mention, the CD/DVD drive is the only issue. Most DVD-ROMs all have tabs on their tray that swing out to hold the disk in the tray securely until the tray has retracted into the drive.
I've done this myself quite a few times on several of my older systems, to get the monitor a little bit lower on the desk to reduce neck strain.
