hello, im building an aria with northwood 3.2, 2gig ram, nvidia 5700le and seagate baracuda sata 160 gb. im thinking of placing the HD on the right side in the vertical position, (over the ram), instead of horizontally in the center position. my reason is to make more room for the tangle of wires coming from the psu. its difficult to make any order of them. question is are there any drawbacks to placing the hd in the vertical position? ive heard something about heat issues and other things but dont know how concerned to be. thanks, tom.
 
In my config I have two drives, one sitting below the DVD burner, and one on the RAM side hanging vertical without any added heat issue. There doesn't appear to be any disadvantege of hanging it vertically vs horizontally since the volume of heat doesn't change in the Aria. You shouldn't have any problem.
