Cases with a 180-degree rotated motherboard

Post by Juventas » Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:24 pm

I've found a few examples of this from Silverstone: PS07, TJ08, and FT04. They all have a top-mounted PSU, and I was looking for a bottom-mounted one. Any other cases out there like this?

LIAN LI PC-V1000BPlus II has a reversed ATX layout, i think there is other lian li that i dont remember atm. Most of the case labs cases can be ordered with reversed atx. FT02 has a 90 degree rotation, the PSU ends up top end.

Only a few current models:
BitFenix Outlaw
Gigabyte Luxo X10 (same Layout as Bitfenix Outlaw), Gigabyte Luxo M10
Intertek: A6 Confident, A6 Superior, Eterno H2, Eterno H3
Linkworld Venuz VC7
Lian Li PC5600 via Tomshardware

Historic models:
Aerocool (3 different front faces) Zero Degree, Mastige, Coolview
Coolermaster Stacker STC-01 (mainboard tray removable, BTX kit needed for rotated ATX mainboard assembly?)
Lian Li V1000(A|B)(+) V1100(A|B)(+), V2000(A|B)(+), V2100(A|B)(+)

Mainboard rotated, PSU in front:
Lian Li PC-A05(A|B)

main board rotated, PSU on top with lots of room:
Silverstone TJ-06

Great list, but not many are available here.

BitFenix Outlaw - available
Gigabyte Luxo - X10 is discontinued, M10/M30 has some availability
Intertek - Europe only
Linkworld - Europe only
Lian Li PC-D600 - not rotated?
Lian Li PC-A05 - discontinued
Silverstone TJ06 - discontinued

The PC-A05 is freaking beautiful. They actually replaced it with the PC-A05FN which is not rotated. I don't like the aesthetics of the Outlaw or Luxo, but the Outlaw is cheap enough to buy as a test platform.

As you can see from my sig I use a Lian Li V600 modded to fit the PSu like the A05, which I used before. I bought both cases on ebay because there are none like these avalable new.
