  1. not really. However, you want to make sure you aren't covering any vents and or fan ports.


  2. Nope, but I would make sure to rest it on  the side so that all of the connections on the back of you computer are closest to the floor.  

  3. Yes, it matters. Chance are, your DVD burners aren't designed to work on its side. Keep it the way it's supposed to be. Maybe the bottom is designed to be able to absorb vibrations? You can probably get by by doing it though, but if you want the best for your computer, don't do it.

  4. Not at all, as long as a vent is not facing the ground.
