Hey guys , so got a build coming up that I've managed to scrape together slowly , mostly a white theme 

 

But I've hot a bit of an issue with the case , I need a case that will sit on the left hand side of my desk , no taller than ~500 mm ,ATX for factor, id like to be able to see the innards of my pc obviously, so I've looked at some "inverted" cases , but I've only found one i really like (will link) 

(Would also like a vertical gpu mount , but not essential as I can add this at a later date)

 

I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas with this as from what I can see there isn't alot of cases like that out there 

 

Link for case I like : https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ssupd-xhuttle-midi-tower-white-cas-ssu-04818.html

 

Curious to see what you guys come up with , thanks in advance 🙂

that seems like a reasonable solution, personally I'm not a fan "fishtank" design and they often run hot... (lots of fans ≠ necessarily good cooling, because aerodynamics and turbulences are a thing) 

 

Alternative idea:

 

Uses a more traditional cooling layout but is still "odd"...

 

(doesn't seem to work well for vapor chamber cooled GPUs tho)

I bought this when I made my pc. But it has restrictions: (if you want more than one AIO) (There is also and updated version of this case with basic programable rgb or something.)

This is probably similar with better features:

There are whole bunch of other curved glass cases atm. I think there are more of the jonsbo ones in white also than on that page. But if you look at curved glass it seems to be a trend this year.

 

Not sure if those would fit on the left though. The first one techncally does, but you would be stairing at the back of it. Which does look nice, but not technically what you seem to be after. You could technically turn the case in a way to get a right facing case to have it's front pointing right and see any case.

 

If you take any of the temper curved glass cases or similar and have the front pointing right in a lateral sense you could get the same effect if you have the side of the case facing forward. The openess would be similar. Unless you have to have the case back to front. As long as it doesn't create an airflow issue with the ones with side facing air intakes.

I found this gskill case. I don't know if it comes in white or not. It might be bi-directional, but i can't tell.

Some sort of weird mini itx case. Haven't seen it in white though.
