The question: can a DVD Drive be mounted vertically?
The background(/waffle):
I've got a few ideas for my Mountain Mods Twice7 case.
It's a 14" cube. It's divided into two "sides", let's say LHS (Left Hand Side) & RHS for easy reference.
- LHS has the motherboard, components, etc.
- RHS: Back: PSU (bottom), fan (top). Front: fan slot (bottom) w/ 3 HDD rail, 3-bay 5.25" slot (top).
The case has three acrylic panels, left, top and right.
I'd like to replace the the top "panel", which is currently acrylic, to a Metal panel which has numerous 5.25" bays which fall vertically into the (top of) RHS of the case.
(20090403 Edit:- RHS: Top: 5+ 5.25" bays. Bottom: back: PSU (as before), Front: Fan (as before).)
If my idea works, it would use up a lot of space on RHS. I don't think I could get the DVD Drive into the bottom of the case - the case is 14" (cubed), and there's a PSU at the bottom, so there's not a lot of clearance.
I want to know if a DVD (and later possibly a Blu-Ray) Drive can be mounted vertically, with abilities to read and write retained.
I am also looking for comments on my case idea, if you can understand it...
