Default Lian Li turned upside down?

I just bought a new mb that has heat pipes. My V1200 Plus by design has the mb upside down which is not heat pipe friendly.

So I decided to flip it!



stripped down, this is the side you mount mb, upside down.



this is the case flipped over, note also that now the power supply will be at the top, I like this more than at bottom.



I was even able to turn badge around too!


I'll mount the wheels and install everything and post back with more pics.

You do know that all but a few old ASUS motherboards work the same upside down as they would right side up?

I have a new MSI as seen in my sig, . I've heard of a few people running theirs upside down without any problems and then some that have excessive heat issues.

This was the bottom that's now going to be the top. I like the fact that now the top will be ventilated.

That was my first thought as well. I then got the idea of just turning over. Also this would give me an excuse to do a little case modding......
