    Well the positioning of a computer can help because they can heat fast so turning it can help it stay cool and run fast but the only worry is that when a disk or cd is used that it is very posible that they will scratch so you my want to set it back when they are in use.

    Yes and no. As has been mentioned below, when inserting a CD, it can slide out of its designated area and get scratched or mangled. This could help cooling the computer, but I would leave it the way it is. It isn't worth it if you are turning it onto its side every time you take a disc out, then back over every time you put one in. I think it is good the way it is made to be.

    you sure can put the computer on it's side no harm will be done, unless it falls over , remember that it was not designed to be on it's side.

    It will be fine as long as it doesn't fall.
