Is there any relatively easy way to mount a 770 sideways parallel to the motherboard in a Fractal Design R4 Window? I like the way the GPU is mounted in the Bitfenix Prodigy with the windowed side panel and how you can see the face of the graphics card through it. I would like it to look something like that.

The new STEAMBOX's are mostly designed this way, but they have a right-angle adapter for where the graphics card plugs in and it requires a custom case. All the cases I saw only work with a mini-ITX motherboard as well.

I don't know of any way to do this otherwise.

You can do it from the motherboard with a simple PCIe riser / flexible cable.

The trouble is that you can't do it in the case, because it would be perpendicular to the PCIe slots on the case. If you were willing to do some modding, then yes, it could be done easily.
