Seriously, what is the point in having the lovely design on a graphics card on the bottom end facing to the bottom of the case so we have to look at the arse of the card all the time? we cant even see the design once its installed!
 
Buy something like a Sugo SG01/02/05/06, have the panel laser cut and fitted with a clear panel in it's place.

There you go. :D
 
It is indeed very stupid. Not so much having the sticker on the bottom, but having the heat-producing GPU on the underside. Surely having it on the top would make it easier to get rid of the hot air.

They had a chance to flip them over when the moved from AGP to PCI-E, but unfortunately they decided upside-down graphics cards were better.

It's the atx standard;) Just the fact that cases like yours exist, suggests that the standard is flawed and isn't the optimal way of arranging things.

It didn't make a difference when the standards were first designed..... ATX is based around the AT form factor which IBM used in all their desktops and server racks........ both of which had the mobo laid flat. Now vertical cases and hot gpu's are the norm, the standard really doesn't seem that well suited.
 
I have a solid side panel, now I can't see any of my components.

DOH!

Poor design tbh.
