Maybe it's for dust purposes that they keep the components on the underside, Do they actually make a case with left & right reversed? or is this a left/right hand thing?
I'm just guessing here, but I believe that the reason the components on the cards are mounted on the bottom is so that the cooling devices have access to the cooler air in the bottom of the case. Just a guess.

@AVG Yep, that radiator looking thing does a pretty good job of cooling
