My desk has the elevated section on the right side against a wall. I cannot see into my PC, and I also don't like the look of my case very much anyways. It is an NZXT Phantom 240. 

So since I am getting a new case and I want to see into the case, I thought that inverted cases might be a good idea.

 

If anyone asks why inverse here are some reasons:

You can see into the case if it is against a right side wall.

The graphics card heatsink will be facing upwards instead of downwards, so you can see the goods without having to vertical mount it and restrict airflow.

 

 

Anyways, I need a case that has basic liquid cooling options. I have a 120mm AIO on my cpu and I am planning on getting another 120mm AIO for my gpu or liquid cooling all of it with one of the kits from ekwb. Here is one case I found: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-Clear-Inverse-Tower/dp/B016IAM7D8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517245297&sr=8-1&keywords=600c

 

I would love it if the case was white also. But its not a limit. Also I would prefer it to be under 150 dollars, less if possible.

 

Here is my build: Motherboard: Asus Z170-k Processor: Intel Core i7-6700k Gpu: ZOtac GTX 1080 Amp edition

BeQuiet!'s darkbase series cases can invert the motherboard tray, so you can adjust the layout as you please.

 

personally I like the looks of the carbide you posted better tough!

I never knew there was a product after the CR1080. I've looked at that one before and liked it, but not enough to buy it. Let me check out the newer one.

It's very similar, mostly the front panel changed a bit. The interior is exactly the same from what I can tell.
