What cases are there out there with the PSU on the bottom or the side panel on the right side? What I mean are cases like the Lian-Li PC-V1000.

I am just wondering because I really like this layout, but can't really justify the cost of those.
 
Price range?...Anyway, in the ~$150 range (vs the LLs ~$200), there are the original Coolermaster Stacker (STC-T01), and the newer Stacker 820.. Both models support 2 PSUs - one in the traditional top spot, another in the bottom of the case..While only the 820 has a BTX layout (or psuedo BTX more likely), with the flipped board/door on the right side...Then there is the Silverstone Temjin (TJ06), with standard PSU location, but pseudo BTX layout - goes for about $140... I'm sure there's some more, but that's all I can think of ATM.
 
The Antec P180 doesn't not mount the motherboard upside down, but the PSU is at the bottom.

The original Stacker can be rebuilt as a BTX case. The side panels can be flipped and the back panel can be taken apart and reassembled in the other configuration. I salute the engineer who came up with the design.
 
I think the silverstone TJ-106, and the v-2000, and that funny conch shaped anniversery edition thing (which dare i say I find quite fun...queue lambasting by all), and in the coolermaster stacker there is space for 2 hd, so you can put it at top or bottom..... as you can with v-2000, and some of the other BIG lian-li, however they are both at bottom, just one above the other.

I really am starting to like the CoolerMaster Wavemaster over my Lian Li PC-7b (dont get me wrong I love this thing, I'm just moody or something). Anyway I looked at that thing alot and was wondering if I could flip the mobo tray? Anything is doable with modding, but I want to do as little modding as possible.
 
i got the Lian-Li PC-V2000 and its the best case ever. Just note that SATA harddrives are a pain to connect because the distance between the mobo's usual slots and the harddrive connecter are at about 24" and its hard to find cables long enough.
 
Mine, well i modded mine, so i inverted the back, will post my modd, soon, as soon as i finish the front.

Nah you can get 1 meter SATA cables at bytewise or performance-pcs, with the later having a selection with right angle connectors.
