Ah, another big-ass brick. You know, there have actually been reports of these things being so heavy that the shear forces start to bend and crack motherboards after a couple of years. #urbanlegends
no it's real..
but the motherboard doesn't crack.. it's the PCIE port overtime it will rip it in half.. like for realzies.. rip in HALF..
This was the second reason I bought the case I did. The video card hangs vertcally from the top of the case. The bottom has 3 180mm fans that just shoves all the heat straight up and out. Plus it takes 95% of the weight of the card off the slot.
LOL, You n00b..
You can take Any case with flat sides.. and have it sit on the front.. thus achieving the same orientation you've sought.
HOWEVER, do note that GPU coolers that have heat pipes are designed to face either Down, Or Up.. NOT vertical.
The reason is the liquid in the pipe moves more efficiently in the correct orientation.. Whereas, if the card was hung.. the liquid will pool at an end that takes longer for it to wick back to the hot section of the pipe..
The difference is usually around 5 Celcius between vertical and horizontal.
IDEALLY, you'd want the gpu facing UP.. that way the liquid will most efficiently cycle back to the CORE.
