Yeah, thats right, the mother faces upwards. It makes sense too, see why in the article. Every single feature about this case is badass, plus it even looks like a stealth plane...

Not bad case, lots of plastic tho. I like the 90 degree rotation of the mobo to point it towards the top but is there enough space at the bottom to actually pull air from?

I like it, but my only issue with it is the fact the top of the case is open. Too many times have I been called to fix someones system because they spilled something into it. That and the fact cable management outside the box now becomes more of an issue.

For enthusiasts I don't see an issue.
For the normal person, this case does not make sense.

I like the design. Hate how the cables come out the top of the case. It should plug into a bracket at the top which feeds the cables out the back.

Ditto on the top of the case, stupid

I dunno I like it: the connectors are easy to access and the connectors still go out the back...

If the cables didn't go out the top, it'd be a hella sweet case. The style is a little too epic for my taste, but it's still cool.

That is EXACTLY what this design does??? Unless I am imagining the triangular bracket at the back of the top slide cover ... the one that the cables are fed through ... to the back?

I love this case. It makes great sense. Much easier for peripheral plugging etc and all covered up when the top is closed.

This is a great idea, probably not for the average home user. But a power user like a gamer should love this case. having the I/O on top always for easier access to all the ports so someone could quickly change the system configuration. Or if you're like me and have 10 USB and only 2 in the front it is a pain to crawl under my desk to unplug stuff like my external HD which I do want portable.

On a side note when brainstorming for Project Highrise I had though of having the mainboard face up (for a better fit and I/O access) but was worried about airflow issue.

Thats the cool thing about this case, it has great airflow because of heat rising...
