Inverted Mobo cases?

[Kaldor]

Im looking for a case that has the mobo inverted, IE the processor is down, and the right side of the case opens for access to the inside.

I know there are a few of these around, but who makes them is beyond me.

Any ideas out there?

There are a few of them, notably Lian-Li cases. However, be advised, there are some pitfalls that come with using this type of case. If the motherboard you have uses heatpipe cooling for the chipsets, then this type of case is not recommended. The heatpipe cooling layout is designed for horizontal orientation or with the board vertical with processor to the top of the case. The invesrse mounting of the mobo decreases the cooling efficiency on heatpipe designs. Gravity does play a role in heatpipe design layout, something that has been verified with testing.

Ahh, never thought of the heat pipe problem. That pretty much ixnays that idea.
