Rack-mount TBC's (question about placement)

[VDubMike]

I wasn't sure where exactly to put this , and my seach yielded no results. But , for those of you using
a rack-mount TBC sans the rack , how & where do you have it placed? Like what surfaces or set-ups do you have?

Please don't flame me for the newb question.

Anywhere it can get decent airflow and won't fall on the floor.

The rack mount chassis are usually designed for front air intake and rear exhaust into the sealed rack. In rack-mount facilities, the interior rack air is exhausted to outside so A/C doesn't have to absorb the load. In other words, A/C air in, hot air exhausted to atmosphere.
