I think it would be possible, but you’d have to drill some holes in your case. Any 1U modules that need to connect to the rear jacks would need longer ribbon cables.
You also have to be careful if you’re drilling through the end cheeks that you avoid damaging the leg assembly.

I have my 1U row on the bottom on my upper case - but I also prefer the jacks pointing down too. The top of the case looks so clean. The joiners can connect on either end - so you just flip the upper case upside down.
The only modification required is that the two handles will intersect and hit each other and stop the upper case from locking onto the joiner - so I removed the handle of the upper case.
You can see what this looks like here with my upgrade to a pair of 7U104HP cases (thanks @ScottMFR!)

The other modification I had to make was so I could have Audio Out 1U on the right, and µMIDI on the left. To do this I had to make longer custom IDC connectors to reack the MIDI and Audio Jacks boards.
Best part is I didn’t have to do any irreversible damage to the cases.

Not sure if you’re aware of the B-Stock section of our website, but there’s currently 1x 104HP 7U in silver, and lots of 84HP 7U in black, along with Palettes in both colours. B-Stock items still come with all the regular accessories and include the 2-year warranty, they just suffer from minor cosmetic blemishes like small scratches, smudges, or dents.

Aaaand the 104 is gone!

For a future design regarding the 7U performance case.
Make two versions: one with the 1U at the top, one with the 1U at the bottom. So that I, as a customer, can decide which one fits best in my setup. A flexible row would also work but with the handle, jacks, legs and other stuff in mind, I think that would be very difficult to do from a design perspective…
Agree it would be nice to have flexibility on where the 1U row is. Personally would prefer in the middle like Make Noise case.
I have two cases and use with the joiners, my upright case is upside down. Works, but had to take the handle off. To me it just makes more sense for where the cables come in and out.
I have see successful mods that move the 1u to the middle. Def suits my workflow better.
For anyone still on the hunt for a Stealth 7U 104HP case, I just added 4 to the B-stock section here: https://intellijel.com/b-stock/
Is there any update on when the 7U / 104hp cases, and the case joiners, will come back into stock?
The cases are currently in stock at Detroit Modular: https://www.detroitmodular.com/intellijel-7u-104hp-case-with-lid.html

We’ve been sending some large batches of 104HP cases out recently so they should be popping up at various retailers.
There’s also a few B-Stock cases available on the Intellijel website right now: New Stock — Discontinued/Blemished - intellijel

What I want to know is if all the 104HP have been slurped up by existing pre-orders. Performance cases are still scarce at the moment.
It seems the only way to get one of any size is to buy a used one from someone that is charging more than a new one 
Finally scored one! Yahoo!
