My PS-3 is standing between my printer and fax machine, as a space-saving measure.

Laying down is the best way. The heat is able to get out of the system easier and keeps the system cooler.

Should've made a poll. Anyways, mine is laying down.

rwmega · 02-18-2008, 09:00 PM

Laying down. I can see it peeking out from under the left side of my LCD.

my ps3 has been making some wierd sounds, the HDD sounds like it's looking for something or writing/reading (like a scratch sound) and the fans and buzzing alittle. is this happening to anyone else?

From all the damaged X360 discs I've seen from my work (Blockbuster). I've learned laying flat is the way to go, although I've never seen a damaged PS3 disc from vertical standing. So stand at your own risk.

Flat on it's back.

Just the way I like my ladies!

I know, I know. Childish, but it was to easy.

I lay mine down on a shelf by itself with nearly 8" on the left and right side, and a foot in the back behind it to make sure it's got plenty of dissipation space.

Septimus Prime · 02-19-2008, 05:27 AM

Mine is standing. Yeah, it supposedly runs hotter, but it looks better. And looks mean everything to me.

kr00k · 02-19-2008, 05:32 AM

Laying down. Rather have it tucked into my tv stand and not worry about it being knocked over.

BigFoot · 02-19-2008, 05:40 AM

Doggy.

Oh wait, wrong topic.

Seriously though, I have mine laying down.

BluBane · 02-19-2008, 05:44 AM

I got mine laying down. It sits on a shelf by itself with the other components on the shelf underneath it
