from the pictures, it would seem the they mount sideways, does anyone with this case have problems with HDD cable length?
 
No problems at all. Have 3 hd's in mine right now, with plenty of cable length to spare.
They mount right in front of the motherboard, so the hd's are only a few inches away.
They all mount on rubber grommets reducing noise which I like very much.
 
With rounded cables, I really don't see a problem. However, with flat IDE/SCSI cables, I see a problem with airflow. I could be wrong though.

Because flat cables run sideways, they don't impede airflow. That's a smart design as opposed to the traditional way of laying out the HDDs.
 
This just hit me...

What if you want to hook up and IDE HDD and CD/DVD Rom on the same channel? You need to get a new IDE cable wouldn't ya?

that sux 🙁

one of the downfalls of side mounted HDD case I guess

You could just get hard drive brackets and screw the hard drive right under the optical drive.
