    I don't know of any aftermarket or stock stands for the cm1000, cm1100, or cm1200.  

    I do know they're designed to dissipate as much heat as possible. You could potentially try laying it on its side but I'd make sure it has adequate airflow to dissipate that heat.

    If you lay it down, I would put a small fan on it to keep it cool.
