This one is designed for motherboards with power connectors facing the back (e.g. https://www.amazon.com.au/ASUS-Gaming-B850-BTF-Motherboard-C…).
Main caveat is that this version does not support standard motherboards because it lacks the standard cable routing cutouts (e.g. side cutouts for the 24 pin motherboard cable).

Wish they'd make a compact version of this case instead of the oversized ones already..
