Mount a silver arrow vertically or horizontally in a HAF 922?

[Vlad86]

I really cant decide....especially considering Im using 4x4gbs of Gskill Ripjaws. I figure it I mount it vertically I can use all 4 slots but if I mount it horizontally I can only use 3.....cause It seems that the fan blocks my second slot :\ any advice guys?

are you absolutely sure it will block the first slot? Would mounting the fans differently help? if you really can only fit it vertically there wont be much loss in cooling capacity (1c~). I would imagine the orientation of the rear case fan (intake exhaust) will play a more important role.
