I am about to get a Apple Cinema display soon, and considering my door room desk is not that big, I was planning on standing my MBP vertically behind the display once I get it. Besides the fact that the Superdrive slot would be hard to access, is it bad in any way for the mechanical parts inside the machine to be upright for prolonged periods of time? Has anyone else tried this before?
Got a tip for us?

I don't own a MBP, but hopefully I will soon.

i was under the impression that it's horrible if not impossible to operate your MBP closed because of heat issues... am i wrong?
Normally the unit will sleep when shut, but I believe there's a kernel extension that will disable this. If regularly doing processor intensive work, I would leave the lid cracked. Definitely keep an eye on the temp the first few days and be aware of the fans running louder than normal.. no reason to wear them out prematurely.
Oh, and here I was thinking you were talking about something else
lol I thought the same thing!
