I was looking at the Barbary pirate Carbide Series Air 740 personal computer case. Here is a link to Barbary pirate's internet site with images of the case:

https://www.corsair.com/U.S./nut/Categories/Products/Cases/Carbide-Series™-Air-740-High-Airflow-ATX-Cube-Encase/p/CC-9011096-WW

The bottom panel is not a plain flat panel. The bottom empanel is finished similar to the front panel and the exceed impanel. But then the right panel is a unattractive underdeveloped venire. That would suggest the vitrine could be rotated 90 degrees so that the spare correctly panel becomes the bottom panel and the motherboard is in a horizontal position.

I downloaded and looked at the owner's hand-operated and watched numerous video reviews. One video included
a fairly good view of a case disassembly. It looked care the case could be used in a horizontal orientation.

I was wondering if anyone has time-tested it.

you cant set the case in horizontal because you would scratch the hell out of the incline panels as they do non have any feet to lift it.

If you desirable a case with a horizontal layout, thermaltake core series are a better alternative, or the Curium HAF2.

I didn't refer information technology simply I am an experienced enthusiast and case modder. I bought my first IBM background pc back down in 1984. I have been building, upgrading, and modding ever since.

Adding case feet would non be a problem for me. I like large washing machine sheath feet. They are successful of rubber, are readily in stock online, and cost a lot fewer than calculator case feet. The original case feet on the 740 can be easy separate.

I went rearmost and looked at videos again. I found two video clips that in reality showed the 740 lying connected its right side and the buns panel in its new position. If the encase is lying on its right side, then the leftfield, front, and redress panels all mates perfectly. IT careful looks to me like the 740 mightiness have originally been designed every bit a horizontal cube case or maybe a dual orientation encase.

Well i scarcely consider if your going to mod the case, then thats even more of a ground to start off with a better shell.

The 740 is a great case, nonetheless the guys at corsair did not intend information technology to be arranged on its side like that. This would not follow the thermal design the case was intended, and do not take priggish fan locations.

If you really want to keep that horizontal motif, something like a thermaltake core x5 would be way better fit as it even have fan muscae volitantes designed for a horizontal case.

But again, this is my 2 cents.
If your an avid modder As you state, then in that location is no such thing was a wrong case, hardly how much time with a dremel will personify spent....

Seems like it would be pretty easy to just bug out the acrylic dialog box (or is it glass?) and put back it with wire mesh or a hybrid of both. You can certainly withdraw the normal feet and just stick on generic ones... or perhaps the ones that are shipped with ITX cases and/or network switches.

I have a Corsair Air 540 that I've used horizontally for the last couple of years. I bought a couple of adhesive rubber eraser door Newmarket on Amazon and stuck them to the right side of the case. You in spades want to use up roughly sort of feet to raise the lawsuit skyward since that's where the PSU breathes from. You should be able to peel the Michigan sour if you ever decide to go back vertical.

I secondhand something like this: https://www.virago.com/Door-Abundant-Stopper-Be-Strongest/DP/B078HT5WT4/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1539725350

Air 740 and 540 are really similar so I father't look wherefore you couldn't do the Same.

I have a haf xb aaaand thats the go time CM ever sees my money.

In that respect is a antic i learned a few years binding that allows you - at your own risk - to pretty much use any case you want on its side. Simply i have to warn you, it's not easy..

Here are the step-by-abuse instructions and a list of the tools you will need:

Whole step 1. Go the slip sideways.

As you john see, it's not a method that just anyone could use. It takes years of being deep in the IT mod culture, but if you put your head down and survey, in a yr operating theater deuce you too could be benefiting from having this hi-tech case layout.
