my wii's vertical complete with the clear plastic stand to make sure it doesn't get knocked over - even if it looks a bit stupid and my wii's been absolutely fine so far (touch wood)

"The Vertical Wii"
That sounds just wrong...
Slot loading drives maintain the same clearance either horizontal or vertical, as opposed to tray loading drives, which sag.
Actually, you would have less chance of scratching your discs (unless you move your console) theoretically by having it vertical, because, in theory, the disc will have a better chance of staying away from the laser.
Gravity works against the disc when the console is horizontal. It is pulled toward the laser. It works against nothing when the console is vertical, because the rotational acceleration of the disc overcomes the force of gravity, and the horizontal position of the disc (toward or away from the laser (the potential disc scratching point) remains constant.

Vertical hoe!
I dont dig the way it looks horizontally for some reason. Looks like an External HD with a CD Drive in it to me lol.

Vertically
Have mine mounted on the vertical foot/stand. Did have it Horizontal but noticed the underside of the unit got hotter than it did vertical..
But I will say if you have it vertical, make sure you dont sit the stand on the carpet as the unit draws air from underneath in that posititon and aside from sucking dust up through the unit it'd block the cooling system or at least limit it.
Have it horizontal if you must sit it on the carpet floor
Mine sits on the TV stand next to the TV, Sensor bar on top of the TV
