Vertical Proclivity - FT03

[mouacyk]

As much as it is a PITA to work with, can't seem to give up the vertical air flow and external cooling.  

 

The recent mods will allow for side 120mm radiator and better looking passthrough fittings to my GTX360 rad.  Definitely tempted to get a MO-RA.

Nice, this sort of case orientation certainly makes sense. Never seen the case before personally does it take an AX motherboard ?

It's an old case now from Silverstone.  Unfortunately, it does not support ATX but I wished it did.  It does support up to mATX, so there's expansion opportunities.  I have been looking at the Thermaltake Tower 900 for its accommodation of bigger mobo's, so you never have to compromise on VRMs.  VRMs on mATX Z390's are abysmal, except the insanely expensive Gene.  Also installation should be much easier on the Tower 900.  However, it is $300 and doesn't seem to have a bottom intake fan to aid in the vertical air flow.
