Yes I just meant lean it on its side - have the inlets placed "vertically" - *not* the whole thing laying flat out. More surface exposed to fresh air coming from under. (should test it though...)
That way:
Code:
  1
+---+
|   |
|   |      2
|   | +--------+
|   | |o       |
|o o| |o       |
+---+ +--------+
^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^
   fresh air
Which one is best, 1 or 2 ? I'd guess 2 bur i'm not really sure
