I have this case and I am going to be upgrading my system with a Conroe setup. However looking at the motherboards forConroe nearly all of them have the silent heatpipe coolers on them. With this case having the upside down motherboard mounts am I going to run into any problems using one of these boards.
 
Yes I am going to give it ago. Conroe temps seem low anyway. I bought this case because I have 8 hard drives and it suited my system. It is the best quality case I have had (and I've had a few). I just don't see any advantage in the motherboard being upside down. It looks like heatpipes are becoming more common and I bet they do not design any new cases with this upside down arrangement.

If I have any problems I can get the Bad Axe MB anyway. I was thinking of using the Gigabyte board because of the number of SATA ports.

Thanks for your advice.
