Straight or angled case?

[CrispyFreshEthan]

Just want to know, how do you guys have your cases positioned, straight (parallel with desk) or angled towards you, also are there any advantages to either position? 

 

I have plenty of space so either way works for me.

Depends. I move between two houses with my desktop. In one it's straight, the other angled. I just choose the position that gives me the most space to fit my mouse mat, after that I try to give the most opening to the in-take fans on the side of the case.

Then just choose the one you think looks best.

Mine is upside down, if that helps..

Parallel so the internals of the PC are seen through a transparent case panel.

Yeah I'll have a mess around with it, see what looks better, easier to cable manage etc.

Never thought of that, I'll take that into consideration.

Ah nice, my desk is on the roof.

Well, all of my current systems are n cases/chassis that are pretty square, so yes.

 

Though, my Node 202 build can be put on its side, so whichever orientation that takes the least amount of usable room.

I honestly just do what looks best (with airflow in mind).. Mine sits right next to my display on my desk..
