It says put an
8" ON a PC, not IN it.
If you use two side by side drives horizontally,
then it is a lot more stable to put the PC on the 8"
Of course starting with the half height 8" drives helps. They are only
about 2.5" tall.
What is more interesting is what a PC with two 8" drives would
weigh in at! Most of the good 8" drives were a very solid hunk
of aluminum.
I have a heath H207 dual drive. That's two half height doubled sided
drives one atop the other and a linear power supply. Weighs more
than full up NS* Horizon (wood case)! It's only 13.5x5.5x17 inches.
