Folks - love my new pb 15 inch. Downloaded the new ATI drivers, and had fun rotating the screen by 90 degrees - really useful for working on text documents.
I have an external keyboard and mouse, so would like to put the pb on it's side, and would like to know -
1. Is this bad for it? Should I not do it? I assume I should not run the cd drive in this position.
2. Is there a stand designed for it?
Thanks!

i dont know if there is a stand to do that, but you could prolly wedge it between a shelf and some books or something. But im always used to ghetto rigging things.

I dont think it would be bad for it as long as you dont use the optical drive. But the ps2 was kinda meant to be run sideways. oh well, someone else will know better.

Yeah, I could do that, it's just kind of ugly, and if'd wanted that, I'd have got a Dell...
ps2? I know the screen is wide for media and things, but for text documents, 15inch tall, rather than wide, rocks

well alright then. make sure you post pics of your setup, and also your thoughts on how it functions and all that.
