As above im wanting an upside down case but preferrably midi tower.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

But on a cheaper more serious note....
Do you mean upside down as in:

Right-hand side of the case
Or rotated 90°?

Raven 3?

Don't know off the top of my head of any other manufacturers that make cases like this although personally i love them!

I mean as in the motherboard is rotated 180 degrees.

Im looking for a smaller midi tower.

I had my eye on a thermaltake A30 however it cant support 3x120mm fans.

Keep the suggestions coming

Lian-Li PC-A06b?

Ummm it opens up the wrong side panel which panel. I want it on thr left and not on the right.

Any other suggestions? I quite fancied a shuttle type case simce i have a micro atx board. But i want the gpu to face out ways as in the motherboard lays flat horizontal rather than vertical. Bet example is the thermaltake A30 case but that doesn't support enough 120 fans

That's the ONLY way rotating 180 degrees would work, otherwise your IO ports would be at the front!

A30 has the motherboard rotated 90 degrees. I really think you need to clarify what you are looking for here, do you want the motherboard on the bottom of the case?

I want either the motherboard rotated 90 degree or at the bottom of the case. Sorry i wasn't very clear as i was still looking at what i really wanted.

If the motherboard was to lay at the bottom of the case i would preferrably want the graphics card fan to be facing the left side of the case though so if the case sat next to me on the right i could see the fan spinning if i modded a window in the side panel if that makes any sense?

That's just too weird for me lol

Only Silverstone do 90 degree rotated motherboards as they've patented it.

Otherwise what you're talking about is "inverted ATX" so that the PCI-E slots are at the top of the case. Options then to my knowledge are:

Lian Li A05 (old now)
Lian Li A06
Thermaltake A30 (which you've already dismissed)
Silverstone Temjin TJ08
