- Doesn't really make too mch of a difference! Many clone PC cases have the
- floppy drive bays on their sides so you are okay there, with CD-ROM drives you
- need to make sure that it is the type with the raised ring in the middle or
- your CDs will drop out when you open it :-)
-
- I have never seen a clone with Hardrives mounted on their side, so I wouldn't
- recommend it... maybe a call to seagte etc. would answer the question..
-
-
- Incidentally, why? Are you thinking of having your desktopmachine on its
- side?
-
- Good luck
