I have a motherboard where the graphics slot is on the top of the board instead bottom . If I just flip it around the io is inside the computer and nothing touches the io shield lol so that’s not an option . Is there a case that is flipped ? So I can place things in from the right side instead of left , so the io can match up and graphics card be on the bottom lol 

 

the computer I’m trying to do this with is a an hp Compaq 6005 pro

In many instances today Dell/HP systems use their own proprietary form-factor motherboards in proprietary chassis. Unless you have the original motherboard there's a good chance this isn't going to work.

 

99% of standard form-factor chassis use the layout where the GPU is on the bottom. If you go to any online store like Newegg most of them will follow this orientation.

Best way to go about it would be to get the original case for the motherboard and go from there, model name/number should be printed somewhere on the motherboard. Quick google search should pop up what the original case is.

I fix computers and computer accessories... sometimes... when I want to...

Part of the reason I’m back to spit balling on this build , is because the person who I gifted it to lives with their mom still . No offence to their mom ... but she’s not that bright ... I put a whole in the side panel for a fan and so a graphics card could fit in it . And it’s apparently a fire hazard . So open test bench is like 100% out of the question . @IMALVIN
