I think the orientation does not matter.
I have seen some compaq desktops where
the harddisk is installed sideways.
I have some harddisks where I installed
the HDD head first on the bottom of the
peecee.

As for an authoritative source, seagate in
their website have mentioned that the HDD's
orientation does not affect the operation
or performance of the hard disk.
