So I have seen some people on other systems relocate the cap to the
underside of the board to make room on the top if a mod needs the room

I am not sure if putting the cap on the bottom would interfere with
anything on the bottom or not or the case, but I would make sure of that
before trying to install it on the bottom.

This is just an idea.
