Do I have to add a special DVD Drive so I can load DVD's sideways? Or will this unit allow me to set it on it's side?

I did not try it, but I pulled the box open to add RAM and a SSD and it was a standard DVD mount. Worst case you would have to drill a mounting hole or two for the little screws. Or flip the entire case upside down and modify nothing. The on/off button would be at the bottom versus the top etc... Hope this helps!

Are you placing the disc in with the data side facing you? I have had no problems.

There is a case that comes with the unit, there are straps that hold the DVD player in and the straps are essentially cotton that go around the head rest. 2 things: 1. The DVD player can only be mounted open, meaning in a right angle. Even though the screen swivels, the case that comes with it does not allow it to be mounted that way. 2. If you have a newer car with smaller headrests OR if you have leather seats, the case does not do a great job holding it on to the headrest. I am always having to make adjustments to mine.

Better off using an external DVD drive. Just plug it into USB port and be done. Also I put an USB 4way splitter on mine and it allows for my mouse, printer, external antenna for wireless signal, and DVD player/burner to work all together on 1 port. I got DVD at Best Buy great price and they have several to choose from mine is 24X.

Yes I have a DVD player hooked up with the audio video cords. You just have to read the back panel it tells you where to put them.

With some form of conversion kit, but it wouldn't make sense, If you want an external DVD RW, the DVD RW drive with power adapter, etc. would probably cost less than converting this one.

dvd drive is on righthand side, never tried to write anything with it though.

I suspect that it will play in that orientation, but the loading and unloading of DVDs will not work as the tray doesn't hold the DVD in place. Honestly, mine was a gift for my mom, and she runs it horizontally.

Not a silly question. The side with the writing is the "up" side of the disc. My desktop sits on its left edge, so there is no "up" and half the time I put a disc in backward. The writing should be on the same side as the "up" side of the front of your drive where it says "DVD" or whatever. Put the blank side toward the button that ejects your drive and you should be good.

Maybe, if you center them and they are empty. I found that my unit had issues with leaning with just dvds, so you may have to screw it into the wall.

You can get an external dvd drive that you can hook up -- they are pretty cheap these days. Ofcourse, you could use another machine that has a drive and put it on drop box.

You will have to purchase an external DVD/CD-ROM drive. AMAZON has several for sale.

The shelves are held by pins pushed into holes that are drilled up and down on the sides of the unit. You can select where to place the shelves. I only wanted to use it for dvd's so that is how I arranged it.

No, it requires a little effort. Both sides need to be removed and then one can access the drive. My unit failed out of the box. POS if you ask me.

It tells you to keep it flat, like in the pictures, when you start it up. I have seen them up on their sides like the Xbox 360, and they seemed to work, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's probably just putting in a disk that would hurt it on it's side. If you only download, it probably wouldn't really hurt it to have it on it's side.
