since when did computer cases go upside down?

Maybe I should have qualified that with sarcasm tags!

My computer needs to be on my right, which means the window is on the wrong side - bah

I think a lot of this was inspired by the (failed) BTX form factor. It has some good ideas like this, but the market really didn't need or want a completely new motherboard form factor.

BTX & - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also Power Macs have some pretty cool and funky internal layouts. PC manufacturers have taken a lot from that and the server market to the desktop.

It was mainly constructed to assist in reducing the temps in Preshott PCs - when Intel designed the Core architecture with its thermal efficiency I guess they stopped pushing it as the new form factor...

I think only Lian Li and OEMs like Dell actually built BTX cases - it wont be missed...
