Upside down case?

[crash2much]

A buddy of mine just bought some fancy new case which he wants me to put together a system in. Maybe it's been a while, but this case is upside down. The power supply is on the 'floor' , pci/agp slots are on top. Just curious, but isn't that determental for getting rid of heat. The exhaust fan is mounted about 3 inches off the floor.Heat rise still, right? Hmmm...am I just old?

The WTX standard flips the mobo so the PCI slots are at the top..
Its prolly made for WTX, even tho ATX will work in it

Maybe I'm just overreacting, but an Athlon system with geoforce card....both known to run hot. 😕

I would give it a try and see if it works.

Do you happen to have a link or a picture of that case?

That looks like a robot from some low budget sci-fi movie.

I don't think it's WTX because WTX has the power supply still in the upper corner(maybe rotated 90 degrees but I forget)...
it's just a weird case 🙂

Wow..the case sounds like its easier to work with because the fan unit is out of the way...but i doubt it will do a good job getting rid of heat.
