Can this just sit flat on a shelf?(pc stand) Or does air need to be flowing underneath? (I don't have a rack)

Yes it can but wall warts may be a problem as they may be too wide for the unit to sit flat so you will need a short extension cord between each wall wart and the Furman rear outlets which you can find cheap on axon. The unit is about 5" deep.

If you are using this for a audio mixer, the Furman M-8x power condioner/ surger protecter can sit flat - it doesn't generate a lot of heat. Of course if you can have a small fan,or even put some rubber feet in the corners to keep it elevated just a little is always better to allow more air flow. If you are looking at this unit for a computer system, you may want to look at this one instead. Furman SS-6B Steel Power Strip, 6 Outlets, 15 Foot Power Cord, Standard Level Power Conditioning

Yes! The unit really doesn't get that hot. Furman is the best out ther right now.

Yes it can sit flat on a shelf. If you go to a hardware store pick up a package of self adhesive rubber feet, you can put them on the bottom and it will protect the table top and keep it from slipping. Don't worry about airflow. This is just a glorified power strip that is rack mountable. Have you considered just getting a good surge protection power strip? Unless you are doing audio recording, RF and noise protection isn't necessary.

I have run mine in top rack without problems-it needs to be close to flat to get small particles out

When you can you can't have the jars resting on a flat bottom. They make it that way in case you dont Use the rack inside

There are grooves that the shelf sit in so it cannot be moved. I am not sure if it would diminish the stability if you left the shelf out.

I tipped mine vertically to try it and it stayed upright, but it teeters because of the way the shelves stick out from the frame on the ends. It has a little shelf on the top which is also good for storage and if you tip it vertically you loose that storage space. I would not recommend it be used vertically. Hope this helps.

The CPU stand, no... The glass acts as a spacer. If you were to not install that piece of glass, the table would not assemble level. As for the stand on top, you can't remove that either since the back left post threads through the glass into the back right stand mount. I can't remember if the top "nut" can be used from the glass of the shelf, or if it's attached. I also have an iMac and bought this as a cheap alternative to the desk I really wanted. I used the CPU shelf for my backup battery/power hub and used the top shelf for my wifi router. I have since purchased the desk I originally wanted. But this one served its purpose. Hope that helps a little

Hi am sorry but I have not gotten around to mounting it yet. I would think it would depend if you Already have fans at the top of your rack. Sorry I wish I could of been more help.

The rings on the posts allow you to place the sleeve that holds the shelf at the desired level. Having said that, if you do raise the shelf from the lowest position you aren't left with much space between the shelf and the platform for the printer. And as K. Frazier pointed out you may affect the stability of the stand.

Nope. It has rack brackets already, but if you don't want to use it mounted in the rack, then lay it on the shelf or floor. However, the rack brackets are not removable.

Why not just sit your laptop on it? There is a 1 1/4 clearance so not sure I would put a laptop under it as could scratch the top. This is a really nice unit for a Mac computer as I have had mine for quite awhile and really like it. Hope I helped.

No it just sits on the shelf. You could probably use suctions for added support.

Mine is on the counter, so I can't say how much room you need above it (there are no vents on the top)....but, there are air vents on the left side, so that should not be blocked.

All the ventilation on this item comes out of the back, so it does require extra space to ventilate properly. You can only put it under a counter if you have at least 3" clearance in the back and 2" around each side.

The bottom will be flat if you don't attach the bottom stand. Nothing will stick out.

If you are only putting the monitor on it sure but not the monitor and the tower. You would need to reinforce the shelve with "L" brackets under each shelf - that's what I did because I have a lot of books on them and my wireless printer. It's pretty study though, more than I expected it to be.

yes, the PC would be sitting on the screw heads, but the contack is minor, and besides, if you adjust the sides properly the PC shouldn't move at all and therefore won't get scratched. My PC, a Dell, has an unpainted base so even if there were a few minor scratches it wouldn't be an issue, but YMMV. To each his own. Ultimately, it is a very sturdy and functional PC stand. (My Dell does not contact that rubber strip down the middle of the stand, unfortunately))
