There were lots of Lian Li cases with inverted ATX motherboards like that. They stopped making them since it affects the cooling of motherboards which use heatpipes for the chipset/mosfet cooling. Assuming it is infact an ATX or mATX board you can find a motherboard to suite your needs.

That's a myth. They may have stopped making them because this perceived effect on cooling, but I can attest to the fact that it does not.

It is not BTX. BTX puts the CPU on the far side of the mobo from the I/O panel and it still has the expansion bays at the bottom of the case. It looks like an inverted mATX board, it is not BTX.

This is a BTX case and motherboard:

The motherboard is a mATX in an inverted mATX case.

You're looking for a AM2 mATX motherboard.
