Question Quickie General PC Question

.... but a reliable answer wanted !

Can a modern PC be satisfactorily run on its side without harming HDD, FDD and CDRW drive??

I ask, 'cos it needs to fit into computer furniture built for the old style horizontal cases...

TIA

Yup.

Just check your CD-RW drive has catches to hold the CD when vertical, otherwise you need to be quick with your fingers to stop them dropping down and caught in the drawer as it shuts.
