What "if"? The ATX is on the left when looking at the rear from the rear with
the slot openings facing up. ghe wanted a frame of reference. I gave the ATX
position, CPU position and PS/2 port position as usual "left" references, and
last PCI slot as "right" reference. A BTX is to an ATX oppositely situated
adjacent to the last (if any) slot.
