the stands are to elevate it and let light shine out and privide more air to the fan to come

You would need to make a free account, then you can upload up to 20 pics at once. (With imageshack)

with the hdds not being horizontal, they're gonna fail. i learned that the hard way.

On my laptop (with no fancy hard drive protection stuff) the hard drive is quite often vertical and/or horizontal while running, I move it all around (just don't drop it) and I have never had a problem. It has not failed in over a year that I have had it.....
