I'd screw it to one side and prop the other side up if necessary. It's not usually a big deal unless you move the box around a lot...

yeah, i was thinking of putting some stuff in the CD container but wasn't sure what was flammable, what was not, do you recommend something that's not flammable, i'm just scared that it might just burn the whole computer down, but maybe i'm a bobblehead, just wanna make sure.
