Dragon1-1 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 I'm looking for a low to medium cost inverse ATX case (the sort with a window on the right), because of how my desk is set up. Does anyone know of such a thing? I know of Thermaltake Core G3, but it's too slim to be of any use to me, seeing as I have a full size PSU and a 1080Ti, which barely fits in my current case. I'm looking for something around that price point, but able to fit the aforementioned components. I'm in Europe, so it should be available there. I know it's a fairly uncommon thing, but as it happens, having the PC on the right is the only way that make sense on my desk.
Rudel_chw Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Using a normal case, but placed upside down could fit the bill? You'd have to drill to mount its feet on the opposite side, but if you pick a mostly simetric case it could work.

The_Nephilim Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 to be honest I dont think they even make one. if so the Motherboard would need to be inverted as well and I know they dont do that.. Rudel has it right but if you do that it would probally be top heavy..

Dragon1-1 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 They exist, they're just extremely rare. They are supposed to have somewhat better airflow, however my main concern is desk space arrangement (especially since my CPU is watercooled anyway). A symmetrical case which can be placed either way (preferably with minimum modifications) is an option, suggestions for those are welcome, too.

Dragon1-1 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) The 600C is out of production and the Core V21 is micro ATX. I need a case that'd fit a full ATX motherboard and PSU. 5-inch drive bays welcome, too. All in all, the 600C would've been perfect if I could find one. Bitfenix Outlaw is an almost perfect example, but it has no window. I'm looking at Sharkoon REV100, but it's both more expensive and smaller than I'd like (not by much, but still).

Mars Exulte Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 I don't think I've ever seen one designed to be mounted that way. Have you considered getting one of those ''workbench'' style setups that have everything facing upwards? Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
Dragon1-1 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Posted March 29, 2021 That would take too much desk space, plus, I want to have a good view of the internals.
