where do you put a DVD or BLUE-Ray drive???
external? and more clutter when you have a sleek nice case i have to clutter things that plug in
 
and for god sake powder coat the case insides too - Black and then sheet metal - doesn't mesh
pick a color scheme offer red green and blue inside
 
PFFFT!!!!
come on people - people would like a case with some use other than a box and having to plug everything in it each with there own Powersupply

Seems like a lot of case makers are going for the upside down (forgot the proper word) mobo design..
 
I wonder does this design really offer that much in cooling?

Hmm I remember that the BTX motherboard layout was upside down as well :)

Heat rises upwards so yeah the CPU be9ng at the bottom iwill have better colling since it's colder at the bottom of the case hence the heat always rising upwards.
BTX offered this as a slight advantage over ATX, only downside was well the entire case would be orientated 180 degrees the other way around.
BTX didn't get far though, as success goes, ATX, E-ATX  and now EEB seemed to have taken the upper hand over the BTX's not so grand success.
 
Also as the article @ Tech Powerup explains:
 
"Keeping up with the times (i.e. horizontal partition), the PC-V3000 features a vast twin-compartment layout, only that the motherboard layout is inverted (opens out at the right side, with the motherboard being positioned BTX-style)."

Lian Li has always done the sheet metal look. It actually looks good in my opinion. Lian Li is the only company who can pull it off.
