Yeap, Normally the i/o would be on the right. However, my computer is on the right side, and it would be more convenient if it were on the left. Also helps with cable management a little bit because the cables from the i/o are hidden in the back with the rest of the cables.

Great build, I swear though that airflow in the case is weird. Still don't understand it.

Yeah I do agree it's a bit funky, not sure why Bitfenix inverted the motherboard when it wouldve been perfect if it was right side up.

Currently I have 2 120mm feeding air up top, one 230mm exhaust down below, and I've just switched the rear fan to an intake and raised the 230mm fan rpm up.

Working well so far, when running prime and kombustor at the same time. I get 73 on gpu, and 77 on cpu with my oc speeds.

Bottom of case gets quite hot after a gaming session.

I'm thinking about putting my computer on the floor during the winter as a foot warmer. C:

yeah it looked like a pain. I would suggest making your own cables so they only need to be as long as necessary. Im considering do thing that for mine when I have a nice solid week to get it done.

I was disappointed when I saw they inverted the mobo. throw a filter on the bottom of the case and you solve 90% of all dust and debri problems and your GPU will probably run a few degrees cooler as well if it faced down.
