is it bad to use a HD upside down?? and is it bad to put 2 HDs on top of each other(would they get hot or something like that)??

no.no.

Q: Is it bad to hit a hard disk with a hammer, twice?
A: No, but only if you do not exceed the maximum 'G' force rating for the power off state of the drive.

How are you planning on mounting them?

Apple? Macintosh? What are these strange words you speak?

unless you are using 15,000 0r 10,000 RPM drives, I wouldnt really worry about it. I have a 7800 ibm deskstar which does get pretty warm, but I wouldnt worry about melting them unless you have one of those ultra fast spinning disks. Even then a small fan above them should do the trick.
