I've tried left side, right side, and top for my P3s, and have settled 
on top. To avoid interference with ventilation, it needs to sit to one 
side, which leaves at least half of the top open.  That's important -- 
ventilation requires both a gozinta and gozouta, and the rear top grille 
is part of that path.  I just finished a 10 hour RTTY contest, running 
the K3s at 100w barefoot, and I never heard the fans speed up.
