The internals of the Desert eagle use the reverse extended design (RTX), so both the motherboard and graphics card need to reverse installed, the CPU is at the bottom of the case while the graphics card is at the top. Due to the mesh at the top of the case the graphics card will be able to intake and exhaust cool air.
