What is inverted ATX?

[Swiftlegend]

Is it the size of the mobo or the orientation?
I am buying a new case and i can chose inverted or standard ATX, whats the difference?

Basically, the motherboard is flipped 180 degrees so that it sits on the other side, upside down. ATX motherboards are still used. Makes no difference at all, just make sure the case is good, ignore the orientation.

inverted atx means that a standard atx motherboard can go on either side of the case

I think there both the same, just the case opens on the right hand side instead of the feft, and the motherboard is installed upsidedown.....Inverted

Like Thus, I Know bad example... lol

Am I right in thinking it's made so that the CPU is at the bottom where the case should be coolest? (Heat rises)

"supposedly" to be more cooling efficient.
