Aurora R16, can the case be placed on its side for HTPC use?

Hi,

I am looking at putting an Alienware Aurora R16 on its side for use in side a stereo cabinet.  I have done this with a 2 year old XPS which has similar genealogy for I thought this might be possible. I am guessing if it can be done it would be the right side face down?

Yes the side air intake is on left side, so lay it down on right side.

You want to put the motherboard facing down, so the video card is facing up. Motherboard below the video card when looking down on the case.
