    Well, the ATX layout has to be flipped (like an old OEM PC) for the window to be on the other side. This is a little worse for airflow than standard ATX, so thats why most cases made for serious gamers aren't with the inverted layout.
     
    I'd recommend a Corsair 600C.

    Because it would show the back of the motherboard tray with all the cables running from the PSU !?!?

    Well, without inverting the system, this is what you'd see. 
     

     
    There are some cases with an inverted ATX layout which have the board facing to the right of the case, such as the Corsair 600C, which looks like this:
     

     
    Pretty much all components are designed to be in a traditional ATX layout, so things like logos and designs are upside down, such as the Geforce GTX logo on the card in the image above

    Inverted ATX cases all tend to be expensive. Corsair 600C is probably one of the cheapest Inverted ATX cases.

    Dear Gaming\Techie\PCmasterRACE community,
    I´m being triggered everyday by yall saying that gaming latpops (or laptops in general) are overpriced. I know you can build a better PC for less blah blah, but what you kids are forgetting is that with a laptop you have a screen, keyboard and touchpad included, which are crucial for using the damn thing. Don´t forget that all that is included in something the size of your damn monitor alone. So I was thinking if @LinusTech could use his DIY SKILLZ to try building a pc big enough to fit in a slightly bigger than average backpack. So it could go like this : Linus gets a gaming laptop that´s considered overpriced or something and he bases his build on it. So if the laptop has 17" 4K screen with G-Sync Linus has to put a Monitor with matching specs etc etc.Now I know that it would probably still have better value, so to even things up, we´re gonna count the time wasted too! How? We take the average hourly payment amount in the US (sorry for my English BTW, I´m having a hard time writing such cool stuff) and we add that x however many hours this $h!t storm takes. So average payment in US is $25 per hours, and if it takes 10 hours you add $250 to your build... OK that´s too much but you get the idea. Main point is you add the money you could've made if you worked instead of wasting time on this.
    I really wanna see this happen soo.. Please ,LMG?
    Thanks for reading this pile of garbage and if this doesn't become a thing or at least an interesting discussion I'm gonna be sad...

    I would go with 2x or 4x Xeon E5-2699 V4's. These will definitely give you enough performance in any task you need to run on a dual or quad socket motherboard.

    If i recall correctly, the AIBs should have more power phases, so you would most likely be able to overclock it further. I would go with one.

    I'd go for a 1070. I own one, and it is perfect for 1080p 144hz ultra settings gaming, so I'd say 1440p 60 ultra settings would be easy too.

    Duh, we all know that he's simply a time traveller. In that case, just grab the GTX 1680Ti or the Titan XPPPPpp2 and bring it back in time, and either use it or sell it to make tons of money.
