Adoi... small matter only. What for argue?

Lian Li's are using inverted ATX.

chilled guys.................

btw i think the better term is called reversed ATX as refer by lian li web page (if not mistaken)...........ppl refer that as BTX usually due to the fact most BTX mobo are mounted left side instead or right side like ATX does....mis-communication perhaps

the real BTX is kind of not commonly seen by ppl eventhough all most of the Dell desktop are BTX motherboards nowadays.......but seriously the idea is very good, processor benefit the most......

i also use reversed ATX installation in my rig, i found that the air flow management is much more easier n i manage a desirable cool down rate on my VGA card evenwith slow fans,

but the poor side is on the cable management, but this depends on the placement of PSU and all those IO ports.....

ah, see you said looks like BTX. its not BTX

Wow! my worklog has become a very intense and heated argument (Don't Mind)
Doesn't matter, after all I'm sticking to ATX in the meantime and thank you for the praise lolhalol.
You know whats going to be interesting?......If Mr.Ianho could comment on the matter in hand.

That's a common mistakes here. BTX takes more than inverted chasis. Component layout on motherboard is what makes BTX form factor. From that, a new chasis design should follow the motherboard layout. We should refrain on saying inverted ATX is BTX.

Then Lets All Call It ITX=Inverted Atx
Or "RTX"=Reverse Atx, sounds even more cool

I've seen the xps before but not really well and all i know its that you open up to see your mobo from the right side(From front view) and i ASSUME that the "RTX" was in fact a BTX, thank you for the insightful information this clears up a whole lotta' things...but i see that the xps had not so good review from a PC magazine and guess what due to its heat problems(go figure)...If I'm not mistake from maximum pc or was it PC Magazine?(Don't argue about this particular comment) continue on the atx and btx argument oh and the "RTX"

I always made it a point to say my mods are called "BTX Style" ler. I never sed it's BTX. Ppl all confused d. I like BTX Style coz the gfx cards are always on top so can show them off nicely at the top window. Also, for those on water cooling, if the gfx is on top then if the CPU water block leaks for sum reason it will just drip down n not damage the gfx coz it's on top. I've had a CPU block leak straight on top of my gfx card so it's no joke to c the gfx card flooded with coolant. It's frightening to c especially when ur gfx cards are top end cards. Pengsan oh if the card dies from drowning.

Ur mod so far? U need to spend a lot more time on cutting nice n smooth n finishing up those edges. As is, the cuts are very rough n unfinished. I noticed even ur markings for the top panel cut is not properly drawn. If ur markings are not accurate then ur cuts will never be accurate. Concentrate on making a perfect drawing of what u wanna cut 1st. Make sure it's milimeter perfect. I actually spend hours on measuring n marking b4 I even start to cut. It's a very very very important step. Luckily the scoop covers that top cut though. Hopefully u take ur time on the next cut n do it better. Well, as long as u enjoy what ur doing now, keep it up n enjoy urself. That's teh most important thing.
