Case window on right hand side???

wunkley · 10 Apr 2015 at 14:33

Incredibly simple question here. I'm looking to do a new build with a new case later this year. I would like a decent window, and I will probably want it on the right hand side, as looking from the front.

However, all cases I can see the windows are on the left! What's the situation?

Cheers bud. They do exist then. It's a case (oh ho) of just looking at the actual images then.

They're not as popular this way round obviously which is a shame.

I'm thinking of dabbling in watercooling, but as a complete novice was contemplating the pre-waterecooled case section. Wouldn't you know it, the only one with a window on the right is the most expensive and a ridiculous price at £655 :eek:

What's it cooled by, liquid gold?

It is a massive case (proper big) and made from I think all aluminium.

Essentially the motherboard is upside down in cases where the window is on the right.

Upside down? Hmmm. That could cause issues could it not, with graphics cards being the wrong way up and whatnot?

stulid · 10 Apr 2015 at 15:43

Nah.

worrying about nothing.

If the motherboard wasn't 'upside down', you wouldn't be able to see anything through the right-side window because you'd be looking at the back of the mounting tray.
The 90 degree mounted ones would be my choice for air-cooling.

try thermaltake x cases they can be put on either side

No it's way better heat rises and no strain on board by heavy gpus

Bitfenix Prodigy matx has one on that side but for some reason the mitx case has in on the other side which was a stupid mistake it causes over heating of graphic cards plus you can't see in the case with graphics card blocking it.
