 I have done this at home and almost all the PC's here at work are
setting this way. The only possible problem I have even heard of (but
never experienced) is that you might want to reformat the disk with
the machine on its side.  One of the newer disk utilities could do a
low level reformat and data rewrite with no problem. We have not even
done that much. No problems in over 50 PC's. Good luck. :-}
