Lian-Li had a very nice case with a reversed MB but I dont know the number. It was part of their quiet series with the PSU on the bottom. Have never built with one myself but they are probably easier in some ways on wire management. My only effort with a PSU bottom case was with the antec 900 and it seems most of the wires have to go all the way to the top, the reversed MB would solve that problem maybe. Not sure what they do to case airflow though, having a big video card at the top where heat rises seems a bit backwards, it would tend to trap the risiing heat.
