[ot] motherboard position in case

thefretmaster · 09-15-07, 02:01 PM

hey guys, just waiting for the money to buy my new graphics card (bfg 8800gts 320 oc2).
i opened to case to have a look at the power supply (also being replaced) and i noticed that my motherboard seems to be backwards from most others i have seen on the net.

it is screwed to the left had side of the case so any cards sit the right way up in the slots. because whenever i have seen 8800's on the net the mb is on the right hand side of the case and the card has its fan facing downwards.

can anyone shed any light on this matter?
i have a dell dimension 9150 and im gunna add a load more fans into it to help with cooling.

sorry for the ot but was wondering about the effect and thinking behind it.
