Can I install this upside down under my desk? will that be ok for the mac mini

Yeah, I believe that's part of the design. The mac mini can slide in face up or down so the mac mini itself would be installed right-side up. I currently have mine installed on a wall with the mac mini pointing down and it seems fine. The lock sits off to the side so if you had the mac installed either way the lock shouldn't get in the way of anything and yet still keep it from coming out.

Yes. It will be fine to install upside down. It is very secure. The Mac mini will not fall out of the cage or get damaged.

Hello. Glad to help with our question. Yes you can install upside down under your desk. There is nothing inside the MAC Mini that is affected by the orientation of the install. I might suggest that you get a security lock (from the same Tryten tech folks) for the unit: Mini's are so small they are easy to steal if one is robbed; I lost one to a robbery; now I have the security lock; new replacement is NOT going anywhere. :-) I hope that helps.

Yes. It will be more difficult to use a security lock, but I installed this under my desk (i.e. upside down). My Mac mini fits well right side up in the unit.

Not sure, but I guess you could, but the whole thing would have to be upside down. I have not encounter your issue. Try it out. Wish you luck.

Hi. I actually just tried it to see what would happen. I'm not sure if I need you to sign some kind of agreement that you won't sue me if something bad happens to your laptop but here goes anyway. Now not sure if you saw my review but I give you fair warning that I'm not entirely sure I put the stand together correctly. However it holds paper so seems to be right. I only say this because I saw a response that said you can't tilt the desk (top) all the way back but I can. So I either assembled it wrong or that person is wrong. Anyway I was able to to tilt it totally level and put my laptop on it (I have a 15in macbook). It's sturdy in the middle where the stand joins the top but it's a bit wobbly from side to side. However it bore the weight without anything happening (I only tested it for about a minute). I think it's a little risky because there's nothing keeping it on the stand if someone were to ever accidentally knock into it. And again it is wobbly from side to side. I think you could risk it but I wonder if there's something slightly better out there for that purpose. Honestly my vote is that it's wobbly enough to make me too uncomfortable. Do you have iPad? That would work perfectly with the stand in the correct position.

I have mine stuck to my desk and have an iPhone cable and a portable speaker cable both in one holder and it works great! You can stick them to practically anything. Haven't tried to stick it under my desk upside down but I think it would work just fine and hold well.

There are feet on the bottom. Its designed to be used one way. Never bothered flipping it over. Wouldn't see why it wouldn't technically function upside down though. Not sure why you'd need it to=)

Margaret, I'm sorry, but I don't think that will work. This Mac mini needs a display to work properly. Great luck!

In short... YES! The install was about as simple as it could be, and the difference in SPEED is well worth the price. Note that my Mac Mini, mid-11, does run a bit warmer than I would prefer, but this was easily solved by sitting the computer on four little "plastic cup" legs so that circulation is improved. I think I put an SSD drive in this machine, to make it a real SCREAMER. DO IT!

even though the q is 4 years old i'm sure others will have the same question; you CAN in-fact put the shelf in upside down but only with a very minor modification. you need to install as if upside-down, pound the shelf on tight as can be, and drill a hole into each corner to 'pin' the shelf up; i would drill and tap a 6mm or 1/4-20 so i don't have to drill through but an 8-32 screw all the way through would work just as well.

it doesn't fit directly underneath the mac but it doesn't take up a lot of desk space. I sit it in front of the monitor. The volume control is on the right hand side of the unit

That would depend on where you have it fastened. Mine is fastened to the desk top, and can be lowered a little bit lower than the desktop, but is not in a position where it could fit underneath it.

I was told by a few different sellers you could, but I have to tell you the instructions are difficult at best. You really need to have your thinking cap on to reverse the corner pieces properly. Hope the others seller were correct. Good Luck! Its really a nice desk.

I used the bulb in the upright position but I don't believe it would be a problem to install the bulb upside down.

Yes, it can be install upside down and that is the way I installed. Avoid the accumulation of insects in the cup.

You "can", but it is bound to come loose. You can order screws off of amazon. My Mac Pro had the screws in the logic board.

You probably could make it work if you are innovative enough. This would include drilling holes in the speakers or "strapping" them to the support bracket in some manner. In addition, the design is engineered for weight bearing from underneath and not above. Just flipping the mounts upside down is not a problem but attaching the speakers would be.

It is able to be installed on the left side. If it is on the right, use a screwdriver to detach the mouse platform/arm from the keyboard platform and reattach it to the left.

Absolutely not. The black piece that screws in is right there. Disk works great for inverted.
