the problem is that CRT's were not designed tobe turned ontheir side.

you need to make sure they don't get too hot as all the vent holes tend to be on the top, which becomes the side when it's on it's side (what?)

just keep the think cool, being stuck inside an enclosed cabinet doesn't help.

i've had mine like this for ages, no fire's yet.

my advice, plenty of vents, and don't leave the thing un attended!

adios!

: They say on the site that it can only be used with an LCD monitor. Is this true? Have you used it with a CRT PC monitor? What version are you using?

: Are there any freeware or shareware products that do this? $49.95 is a bit expensive for me.
