If you’re in search of the best inverted PC case then you’ve come to the right place.
What is an inverted PC case?
Unlike conventional cases, inverted cases have an upside-down chassis design with the glass panel on the right side (and not the left). This benefits users wanting to showcase their hardware from the left side of the desk, where they are more likely to have space.
Essentially, inverted cases are flipped horizontally, similar to that of a mirror image. As a result, most graphics cards are in the top of inverted cases due to motherboards and GPUs only having connectors on one side.
In this post, we will take a look at some of the latest reverse PC cases on the market right now.
What is the best inverted PC case?
13. Raijintek THETIS Window PC Case
Motherboard: ATX
Dimensions [L×W×D]: 19.69” x 3.94” x 19.69”
Those hunting for a more elegant ATX case are going to love the THETIS. Using a lot of aluminum (with a nickel-like finish) and high-end components throughout, this is a strong, lightweight, and gorgeous case that won’t break your bank account.
In addition to the brushed aluminum chassis construction, the THETIS features high quality tempered glass side panel with a smokey tint. The tint is quite dark, making it better for people who are aiming to hide their internals rather than display them through the side window.
Despite its relatively compact size, this chassis can still accommodate full-size ATX motherboards, 170mm CPU coolers, and 280mm GPUs. Much like some of the other PC cases on this list, the graphics card slots into the expansion slots towards the top because of the inverted mobo layout.
Thanks to the large ventilated mesh top panel, keeping temperatures low is fairly easy. Underneath you can mount a 240mm radiator without any trouble, or have dual 120mm fans instead. Additionally, there’s room for a 120mm floor fan and one more 120mm exhaust.
All in all, it’s a well-built case with a premium look and feel.

12. SilverStone Technology SST-LD01B
Motherboard: m-ATX
Dimensions [L×W×H]: 15.6” x 8.6” x 17”
Finding a micro-ATX chassis that isn’t identical to almost every other option out there can be a bit of challenge, but not for this SilverStone choice. With three sides of tempered glass and a beautiful stainless steel frame, it comes smartly engineered and offers plenty of internal space.
Aesthetically, the LD01B has a super clean and modern look. We particularly like the way the smoked tempered glass wraps around the case so it appears almost frameless. Apart from the white trim on the top and bottom, no seams can be found without a closer inspection.
In terms of the build, there’s room for motherboards with a 168mm CPU cooler, 370mm graphics cards, and 160 to 220mm PSUs (depending on the HD cage bracket position). The adjustable drive cage shares the bottom PSU shroud and provides three tool-less trays for 3.5” or 2.5” drives.
Although glass cases aren’t known for their impressive thermals, the LD01B does rectify this with perforations in top of the case and top/ bottom of the front panel. This allows ventilation for dual 120mm fans (or 280mm radiators) In the top and front to disperse heat effectively.

9. Thermaltake Level 20 VT
Motherboard: m-ATX
Dimensions [L×W×D]: 13.7” x 13” x 16.9”
The Thermaltake Level 20 VT is an m-ATX cube chassis taken from the TT premium product line. Designed specially to show off custom liquid cooling systems, this ultra-modern PC case provides a spectacular view, thanks to the four tempered glass panels that surround it.
In terms of the design, dual chambers separate the cooling, PSU, and hardware components. The motherboard then sits flat on the bottom chamber to provide native horizontal mounting. It can house 350mm, max-length graphics cards as well as 185mm CPU cooler heights.
Besides having a vertical-facing motherboard, what’s great about this case is that it’s extremely modular. The dismountable design means you can strip it down to the bones and unscrew/ interchange the five symmetrical panels. As a result, you can invert or configure it to suit your needs.
If you’re not planning on doing any custom-cooling, don’t let that put you off – as there’s ample room for case fans. Unfortunately, the Level 20 VT only includes one 200mm front RGB fan, however, it does support up to nine 120mm fans in total!
In short, it’s a sleek and solid build that’s excellent for all kinds of mods.

The Syncro Q704 is a stylish mid-tower PC case with a reverse ATX design. It features an aluminum body with a tempered glass panel on one side and an intelligent management hub on the other. The hub “Seasonic Connect” aims to simplify cable routing for a clean and intuitive setup.
Due to centralizing all input connections, “Connect” is a big selling point of this case. It allows you to plug in your case fans, PSU cables, and RGB strips. Besides the added convenience, the module also frees up internal space so that air can circulate more efficiently around the main hardware.
For un-restricted airflow into the system, we particularly like the Q7 has a unique “folded” aluminum front panel. Essentially, this guards and protects the full-length, air filter behind. The front panel has a slot in one side so that the magnetic air filter can easily slide out for for cleaning.
A second magnetic filter sits in the top of the case, and a third pulls out from under the chassis bottom. As this is an inverted PC case, the top filter positions directly over your GPU, which also mounts in the top of the chassis. As a result, you can expect some desirable graphics card thermals.
In terms of build, there’s room for ATX motherboards with 185 mm cooler heights, 345mm GPUs, and 280mm power supplies. Furthermore, Two 3.5” HDDs can also mount in the power supply shroud and three SSDs behind the motherboard tray.

1. Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO
Motherboard: E-ATX
Dimensions [L×W×D]: 18.1” x 11.2” x 18.3”
The O11 Dynamic Evo is an evolution of the O11 Dynamic. Inspired by the O11D XL, O11D Mini, and O11 AIR Mini, it handpicks the most successful features from each while implementing some of its own. The biggest addition being the ability to reconfigure the case into reverse mode.
In terms of form and aesthetics, the O11 Evo closely resembles the original 011 Dynamic mid-tower. The dimensions are approximately the same and it retains a clean, minimalist style. Compared to the original O11, the only real noticeable difference to the exterior is a new full-mesh top panel.
Another substantial change over the original is how the chassis opens. Thanks to the inclusion of tool-less clips, the side, front, and rear panels are now easily detachable without having to remove the top panel. As a result, it’s never been easier to make minor upgrades to your hardware.
As mentioned, the ability to invert the case is the standout feature of the O11 Dynamic Evo. This is possible in just a few steps. Essentially, it involves removing all of the panels, flipping the case upside down, and then re-assembling them on the other side to complete the conversion.
In reverse mode, the case can support the same hardware as its normal configuration. There’s room for E-ATX motherboards (under 280mm), 420mm long GPUs, and 167mm coolers. Additionally, four 360mm radiators can mount on the sides (and bracket), along with a 120mm rad in the rear.
Besides this, we particularly like that the O11 Dynamic Evo offers a massive amount of storage capacity. Up to nine SSDs or six HDDs and three SSDs can locate in various mounting points around the chassis. That’s a ridiculous number for a case of this size with such a clever, versatile design.
Overall, the O11 Dynamic Evo is a masterpiece of engineering and innovation. It’s without a doubt the best inverted pc case on the market right now!

What Are The Benefits Of Inverted PC Cases?
There are a few unique benefits to an inverted PC case. The primary benefit is that their design orientation is more suitable for somebody that wants to display their PC case from the left-hand side of the desk. Additionally, it allows for hardware upgrades from the right-hand side.
Other benefits can include access to I/Os from the roof of the case. This is because most inverted cases have 90-degree motherboard installations. Having access to all your rear inputs and outputs from the top of the case makes it much easier to plug in peripherals.
Beyond this, the benefits of an inverted PC case are quite minimal. Many people do enjoy the fact that they can look unique, especially if you purchase a see-through one. However, if it is just a standard-looking PC case, then you won’t get to enjoy any of the visual benefits.
Some people find that with an inverted PC case find their GPU runs a little bit cooler. This is because the GPU will position at the top instead, and of course, heat rises. However, this is only going to be a negligible benefit if you are running a proper cooling system.
The layout on the inside of the case means that fans and components still work properly, even if you push the PC up against the left-hand side of the wall. As a result, gamers who don’t have a huge amount of desk space can still use them without any issues.
Should You Get An Inverted PC Case?
If aesthetics are important to you, then you should consider an inverted PC case with a transparent side window. Unlike a standard case, it will you will be able to admire your high-end components from the right-hand side, rather than looking at a solid back panel.
Besides this, it will make it much easier to access your components from the right-hand side of the desk. This is going to benefit people who plan on putting their PC case up against a wall with limited room on the other side.
A compromise to inverted PC cases is that they can be a little unconventional in their design. Some of the components (such as the GPU) require an upside-down or rotated installation. If you don’t have prior experience in PC building, then putting everything together can become more troublesome.
There will also be limited options available when it comes to reverse PC cases. This means that if you do have a particular case design in mind, there is no guarantee that you will find it available to buy. The limited availability means that more of these cases are imported from Europe at higher prices.
If you are planning to place the PC case on the left-hand side of the desk, then it may be worth purchasing. It doesn’t necessarily mean you should purchase one, though. You may find a conventional PC case that has better ventilation and greater features.
How To Choose The Best Inverted PC Case In 2025?
Aesthetics/ Design
Obviously, you want to choose a case design that looks good, however, this will be completely subjective. The aesthetics could be down to the materials, how much branding is on the exterior of the chassis, and other factors. All cases are different so choose the design that you like.
Orientation
In normal cases, the motherboard mounts on the left-hand side of the case. This means all of the additional components clip in from the left. If the case does not have the motherboard on the right-hand side of the case, then it is not an inverted PC case.
Some inverted cases have reverse motherboard orientations. As a result, the GPU installs vertically with the I/Os poking through the top of the case. A GPU installed vertically has a few benefits. It puts let’s pressure on the PCI-e slots, and allows airflow to pass right through the chassis in an air configuration.
Build Quality / Materials
When you are purchasing an inverted PC case, you will want to choose one built with high-quality materials. If it uses glass, then make sure it’s tempered glass is so it is less prone to breakage. Choosing a case with robust materials such as metal and plastics is also a good idea.
Size and Capacity
The case size will depend on what motherboard form factor you have. In our opinion, newer builders should opt for an inverted PC case on the larger side. Larger cases provide better airflow. Additionally, they should make it easier to install more components and cooling options.
Cooling Support
Modern PCs need a lot of cooling. This means that your choice of PC case should have versatile fan support. In an ideal world, there should be support for both 120mm and 140mm fans. You don’t want everything too densely packed. Lots of open space inside of the case will allow air to exhaust much more efficiently.
