I agree with the rest of the crowd, Syr, the hard drives will be fine.
As some have already mentioned, laptop hard drives are constantly running at odd and varied angles, some much more extreme than the gentle slope on which your drives will be resting. You're safe in your design, my friend. Rest easy, and continue forward in your work, I anxiously await the next update!

Yeah don't worry about the hard drives. The only time the orientation rule applies is with MFM/RLL drives - those drives used stepper motors to control the actuator, while todays drives use servos.

Nosty-Babeeeee!
 I appreciate the acknowledgement of the design aspect of showcasing hardware. *sigh* I realise that this is grossly vain of me, but I just get off on the appearance of PC components... My opinion is: If is looks good, show it. This applies to PC,s Cars, and of course the innate allure of the Female form (I mean no disrespect to our Female denizens... it's nature, and I can't help it... feel free to slap me). And, Yes. I did get the S-Max block. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! *happy-jig*Master PJ, I have a small update to follow. cbrazeau, I can't wait either. This has been a long road, but I have yet to reach the final lap. Now that I got a response from WD, I will go ahead and load the OS, and start setting up the software-side of the system. ...I have no more excuses to for lagging... 'cept the GPU's have not been released yet. BittenReaper and Manyak, thanks for bolstering my confidence. I think that at this point I feel fairly comfortable with the off-axis design. There needs to be less whining and more modding on my part. *peace-sign*

Update: 07.30.08
Just a few images to show that I have indeed been whittling away (literally... almost) at this project.
Here is a recap of the lighting that I will be using. As shown, there will be three of these units, and they may be supplemented by some more discrete CCFL's.  I wanted to be able to cap the ends, and I wanted the caps to also be the footprint of the supports for the CCFL assembly. I searched around, but could not find a solution that has all the requirements that I desired, so I made my own. I started with 1-1/4" squares of 1/2" acrylic:  Then sanded and drilled these:  They are still in the rough-stage. I will be rounding the edges to match the other profiled edges of the case, and then polishing them. Here are a couple shots to show my intention:   I have also been working on the PSU and HDD racks' tray and slider system, but that is still fermenting.

*drops a few quarters in the jukebox*
 Edit: Ahhh! You ninja'd me with an update Sir. So you will be mounting the CCFL's inside your own custom mounts, awesome! And you still have not revealed how you got that lighting effect sir!
