Mounting a motherboard upside down?

I can't get the link to work but here's the product

"A New Flip On A Desktop Design" : Silverstone

Bad idea. Heat will build up across the board. Unless you put a really big fan on the side blowing over the entire board, but that will cause a LOT of noise...

Pioneer:
So where do you suggest I mount the motherboard in the design I have described?

Fat_Trucker:
Not sure if I understand exactly why you need to mount this thing upside down?. Why not route a horizontal groove into both side panels at the bottom and use a thin sheet of ply or whatever that you can slide in and out of it as the base?.

You can attach the motherboard the correct way up on the inner side of this base and therefore access/remove it easily when you need to. All you would then need to do would be cut a port or two in the rear panel for case fans to blow the heat away.

The link you gave doesn't work for me, however, maybe (being creative here) you can use very long stands (Bic-pens) to hang the MoBo ? Leave enough room for the CPU fan to get rid of it's airflow though !
