i just noticed lian-li does sell window kits for their cases.

i was looking at the PC-60 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811112022), but im not finding the window kits for sale anywhere? any ideas?

or is this the same thing as the PC-60 with a side window?

EATX = Extended ATX.

Lots of ATX Cases have windows. And a lot of ATX cases I see have Extended ATX Compatibility (I can vouch for my case, a Raidmax Scorpio-868 Mid-Tower, but please, trash the PSU)

Heya,

The Coolmaster Stacker alos fits EATX Motherboards and you can get a window for it. It fits my Tyan 2895 nicely.

nope, BTX is what you're looking for. BTX flips the motherboard around, with the window to the right of the case.

EATX is a larger (up to 12x13") motherboard - lots of server / dual processor boards are like this.

EATX mobos are larger than regular ATX.

Right, but with some cases it just uses an ATX case, but just upside down. (Coolermaster Stacker for one) BTX standard is not just upside down, it follows a whole new criteria.
