Have I just never realized that the sockets of video cards are "upside down" when inserted? ๐Ÿ˜… Or is this an illusion created by how expansion card are displayed when advertised?

Too bad they never caught on. According to Wikipedia, the advent of more power efficient hardware made BTX obsolete. I tried looking for some, but all I could find was a dead Amazon link (Sweden).

Yeah, I was just joking. BTX hasn't been a thing for a decade or more.
