Reverse Mounting Mobo

[CONSOLE_BUTCHER]

what are the pro's and con's to doing this and what brand of case should I buy?

As far as I know Silverstone are the only company that make this type of case in ATX size and they have a couple of different orientations.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Silverstone Raven 4 SST-RV04B-W USB 3.0 Raven Big-Tower - black (SST-RV04B-W USB 3.0)= £109.99
• 1 x Silverstone SST-FT05B Fortress Tower ATX - Black= £132.95
• 1 x Silverstone Raven 2 Evo Midi Tower Case - Black (SST-RV02B-EW USB 3.0)= £135.95
• 1 x Silverstone Fortress FT03 Tower Case - Black (SST-FT03B USB 3.0)= £139.99
• 1 x Silverstone SST-FT05S-W Fortress Tower ATX - Windowed Silver= £142.99
• 1 x Silverstone Fortress FT04B-W Black Large Tower Case= £174.95
• 1 x Silverstone Fortress FT02 USB3.0 Windowed Case - Black (SST-FT02B-W USB 3.0)= £224.99
• 1 x Silverstone SST-MM01B Mammoth Full Tower Chassis - Black (SST-MM01B)= £259.99
• 1 x Silverstone TemJin TJ11 Full Tower Gaming Case - Black (SST-TJ11B-W)= £549.95

​

Another option would be to go m-ATX or ITX and have a cube case where the motherboard sits flat such as:-

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Aerocool Xpredator Cube Micro-ATX Case - Black= £64.99
• 1 x Thermaltake Core X2 Micro-ATX Case - Black Window= £74.99
• 1 x Raijintek Aeneas mATX Cube Case - Black Windowed= £65.99
• 1 x BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Case - Caseking Anniversary Edt. Window= £74.99
• 1 x Thermaltake Core X1 Mini-ITX Case - Black= £54.95

​

Thermaltake even do the Core X5 (around £120) which is a full ATX cube case and the Core X9 (around £140) which can take a E-ATX motherboard. Their footprints are quite large though.

LD Cooling, Parvum systems and Caselabs also have reverse mounting mobo cases. But cost and availability might be a little tricky.

thanks for the replys, had a look at the CORE X2 and the Raijintek , gonna go with the CORE X2. didn't like the look of the parvum much though, seemed to be lacking structure although the front was kinda cool.

just need a new mobo now.

I do like my Corsair Carbide 600c, I must admit.

Although, it's much more costly than I remember it being.

its a decent looking case, but after seeing a few builds in the CORE X2 , I like the look of those a lot more.
