My 2500/30 has been on its side since day 1.  (Approaching its first birthday.)
I made a keyboard extension cable, and bought a joystick extension cable for 
the mouse.  I also moved the Quantum drive from the 2nd 3.5" bay to its spot
on the 2091 card, which coincidentally preserved its orientation when on its 
side.  (I.e. it is horizontal, with PC board down.)  I have had no problems,
and would recommend the setup over moving all the parts to another case, unless
you just _have_ to have horizontal floppy bays.
