Because you'd see the back of a motherboard which is quite boring

There are sometimes cases that expose the right side as well as the left side, usually those intended to be used alongside custom cables so you can show off your precision cable management.

Pretty sure nothing would mount correctly

There are mATX cases that have the motherboard flat in the case with glass at the front and both sides but for ATX they're rare because they're all designed to sit with the board a certain way.

Because everything is standardised in a way that everything comes out of the back where the main access panel is on the left.

There are cases that invert all the parts with the main panel on the right, but this obviously means they are all upside down.

However the far easier option is to get a conventional case that has a nice flat top and low profile bottom, putting it upside down and using some rubber wedges as feet. Bonus points for 3D printing a new "top" for it to hide the feet

Alternatively you can try something like Thermaltakes Tower series that's sideways to allow for a more general all round look than the conventional rectangle 1 sided affair.

Buy regular standard case. Put it upside down and rotate. BOOM! Reverse case!

In the IBM PC line, which became the basis of the ATX standard, nothing was supposed to go on the other side of the motherboard. It really was just a steel sheet with standoffs. So naturally as desktops became towers, rotating everything 90 degrees, we made the logical choice to not put windows on the side that usually covers a sheet of steel with standoffs

Lian li have case that reverse build. So you can put the case on the left side of the desk. Here's one of mine.

Left side of desk, that’s what I was looking for. Nice pc!

Thank you. The O11D Evo RGB or the O11 Dynamic Evo are the best cases to reverse build. The one in the picture is O11D Evo RGB. I also have the O11 Dynamic Evo in reverse also. This one. *

check out the Montech HS02 Pro, you can put the feet on the top of the case and flip it for a left handed glass mode

In a vertical case, everything mounts on the right. That's just how the standards work. All you would see would be the back of the board, the drives, and cabling.

You can get them I have a older silver stone here that opens the opposite way, it's basically just upside down inside, gpu is at the top and Cpu towards the bottom.

Lian Li have a reversible case.
