I'm looking at getting a new desk for my PC, and I realised that it would fit perfectly under the desk - on its side.

This would mean the motherboard would be directly on the ground, but the Hard Drive & the Optical drive would be sideways (verticaly), opossed to how it would normaly sit (horizontaly).

I just wanted to check - will the HDD and the Optical still work sideways?
 
Solution
Yes. It doesn't matter what orientation the HDD is mounted. But worse case is you may find it harder to put in a CD/DVD.
