am installing twin ibm 30gb hard drives in new system (see glee below). i have antec sx1030 case which allows me to install case fan in front of hard drive bay.

the bay will easily hold the two ibm hard drives (about 1/4 inch spacing) but if i install one of drives upside down, i can get about 3/4 inch spacing (much better air flow/cooling).

as this will be a RAID 0 installation (w/ two 7200 rpmers), i'd like to know if i can install one drive upside down????

As far as I know, modern HDDs are not affected by orientation. The only problem might be a stressed ribbon cable.
