I'd definitely recommend horizontal alignment with the chassis.

We've put a decent bit of thought, though, into alternate mounting strategies.

Please take a look at the following wiki page and hopefully it provides enough detail regarding these alternate solutions:

You might want to consider the "One-wire connect via Floppy-disk Extension Cable" option and the "One-wire connect via USB Cable" options.

We were able to order some of the "Floppy-disk Extension Cables" on Ebay, and another poster just indicated that AndyMark is carrying them, as well.
