The old, and now dead BTX (basically inverted ATX) motherboard standard was good for this. It improved system airflow. It unfortunately died because reasons.

What reasons?

[Sank]

I wanted something that looks like the 760t or 780t or the mastercase

"One reason for the failure of BTX to gain traction in key markets was the rise of energy-efficient components (CPUs, chipsets and GPUs) which require less power and produce less waste heat, eliminating two of the primary intended benefits of BTX. Another reason was the lack of OEM adopters."​

Taken from Wikipedia directly, don't know how to properly quote external sites.

 

Intel was developing it because it was better for heat dissipation, and then they were all like "why don't we just make our chips better" and didn't bother with BTX anymore.

Some OEM computers (the old tower MacPros and some Dells) are run modified BTX, but at that point they're just using totally custom layouts.
