can these fans be mounted horizontlly, i.e in the top of the cabinet.

I can't imagine why not. Running them in the horizontal plane, unless i'm mistaken, is more efficient and easier on the fan.

Yes, they can be mounted any direction. For your purposes it might be better to use one with higher CFMs. There are some that move 200-300 CFMs for a little more money.

I wouldn't at the top of a case. They're fine on the sides. But if you blow them out the top the bearings are terrible and the fans will vibrate immensely.

Not if you have an outlet. If there's no outlet then run an extension cord or have an electrician put in an outlet close to the location you wish to mount the fan.

Also by the way are these fans going to be mounted on a radiator if so get these and if not get the air flow not static pressure.

In addition to the placements others are talking about, you can mount an 80mm fan on the door panel and secure it with two screws through the vent holes. It will not be straight (you'll have to tilt it a bit for the holes to align) but I found this fan pours cold air over the hot components on the motherboard very efficiently

The fan can physically be mounted vertically but I am not qualified to comment on how this could affect the reliability or life of the fan. That would be a question best left to the manufacturer.

They can be mounted in the ceiling. I have Yamaha 8inch round in the ceiling. Defitive 6.5 for front but you can install them anywhere.

I don't see why not. In our application (ceiling fan), they are installed in a horizontal position.

Yes but they are high density and are very well cast. This is a really well designed fan. I purchased two for our home and two for our architecturally designed office.

I'm sorry but I didnt try mounting it horizontally and it's now in a position which makes it difficult for me to remove. However, I don't see why it would not work mounted horizontally since I have other brands of computer fans that are mounted horizontally and blowing upwards.

Has been a couple of years since installing the fan but don't think it can be flush mounted. Do love the fan which is in my kitchen.

No, the fan would be at an angle and would not operate properly. This fan does not have a rod that extends down. It mounts flush to the ceiling.

I see no reason why you could not mount this fan in any position you want. It has completely sealed bearings and this would allow any position mounting.

Depends on what orientation you want it to be. Almost every fan has an arrow pointing where the air flows.

Yes you can mount it on the underside of a cabinet, thats where I installed mine.

I don't see any reason why this fan couldn't be mounted vertically in a wall, provided there is sufficient depth in the wall cavity.
