Will this computer operate properly if the tower is placed on its side to fit into my entertainment center?

My Gateway has no legs or pads on any side, only the bottom which means they prefer it to be standing up, I guess. If the DVD and hard drive work while on the side, why could that hurt it?

I've seen dozens of computers laid on there sides or any which way a business needs it to be to fit in its spot. There should be no issue unless you put the dvd drive upside down.

Yes the power supply should fit, I didn't have a problem with the power supply fitting. I usually buy full size towers and I made a mistake buying this midsized tower.I had to put the fans on the top on the outside because my motherboard barely fit inside the case. I will stay with full size cases from now on.

As long as the tower has an input for VGA (blue), DVI (white) or HMDI, it will work.

I don't know. I had the tower for such a short time, and during the time I had it, it never worked properly. I'm sorry I that I can't help you.

It's a full tower,, so I would say yes. You could look up the tower and read what coolers it can take.

It would snug up against it, but as you close the "X", it gets longer. When it's closed to 3 3/4", it is 16" long. If your tower isn't at least 16" deep, it may be too long. By the looks of it, the minimum depth of your tower should be 14"-15" deep for it to work. Even after fitting this device on your tower, I'm not confident that it wouldn't be too top heavy when this device is snugged up to the computer. That's something that I can't answer without trying it on your actual computer. I hope I gave you enough info for an informed decision. Good luck

We own a tower PC, but the fan slides into a slot in the tower n I can't see what's the difference between one unit from the other! The fan is just a fan! So why would it matter...it's only cooling the unit when on n I doubt the fan care whether it's connected to either systems. If I'm wrong, first check with the computer company if your so concerned. Ok

Yes it works. But you'll have to buy a new fan as the one that comes with the HP will run at full speed anytime the tower is on. Hope that helps.

If the computer you are getting is the one in the photo then it can be used in either orientation. There was a family of optiplex computers (http://aceofalltrades01.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/optiplex_755_family.jpg) so make sure it isnt the "tower" version if you want to lay it on its side.

Computer specs should be adequate, just allow the video card to "breathe" properly by allowing some space in the tower, my recommendation is a full or ultra tower if possible.

As long as you have a 3.0 x16 expansion slot it will work. Also you should have at least a mid-tower.

As far as I can tell, it will support a PC tower either standing or sideways.

this is plug n play. as long as it plugs into your tower it should work just fine

You have to assemble everything, but I think that depending on how thick it's the tower it might fit there! Hope this answer can help you.

Yes, mine fits fine but I have a flat screen monitor. The tower doesn't fit on the bottom shelf so you either have to set it on the floor or lay it on it's side on the shelf. Hope this helps.

This mini tower works for me. It will be tight if you plan to install a separate video card. The cooling fans are quiet.
