MODTHEBOX would like to thank Brian from VoyeurMods
for sending the MTB Custom PC-V1100B Mid-Tower Case for review.
Introduction:
The popularity of case modification in the last two years is becoming more and more evident as
hardware manufacturers continue to change their existing product lines to keep up with consumer demand.
For the average consumer, selecting a case can be a lengthy process since new products can be classified
under a wide variety of different categories. While standard pre-modified cases will find acceptance
with a majority of the general public, there are alternative professional services available for
those individuals who want a unique custom case that they can call their own. VoyeurMods based out of Rio
Rancho, New Mexico has recently expanded their online retail operation to offer professional case
modification services which include airbrush painting, laser cutting, water-jet cutting, H2O retro-fit, PSU modding and custom
enclosures. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating a custom modified Lian-Li PC-V1100B Mid-Tower
Case which includes an all-in-one water cooling solution.
Specifications:
The MTB Custom PC-V1100B is a mid-tower case that incorporates several modifications and
precision water-jet features themed after the MTB Logo. Consumers have the option of selecting their
own personal designs from the VoyeurMods product catalog. The MTB Custom PC-V1100B Mid-Tower Case comes
pre-assembled and supports all ATX formats with a maximum motherboard size of 12" x 9.6". Here are some
specifications taken directly from the VoyeurMods website:

The VoyeurMods MTB Custom PC-V1100B Mid-Tower Case was shipped in a colourful black and white double-walled
corrugated box with the case manufacturer's logos and images printed on all sides. The packaging inside
the box was good with the case sealed in protected plastic with two pieces of polystyrene located on
the top and bottom of the package.

My first impressions of the VoyeurMods MTB Custom PC-V1100B Mid-Tower Case after removing the packaging
were extremely positive. I had opted for a simplistic design incorporating the MTB Logo and requested
the inclusion of a high performance water cooling solution. Out of the box, the custom case speaks
volumes in terms of aesthetic design and craftsmanship which would please any case modder. The case
itself, is based on Lian-Li's latest mid-tower offering and measures approximately 210mm (W) x 490mm
(H) x 550mm (D). The overall look is very classy and sophisticated with beveled edges and sleek
anodized aluminum external panels. The VoyeurMods MTB Custom PC-V1100B Mid-Tower Case was bundled with
an assortment of accessories which include drive mounting brackets, mounting screws, metal springs,
motherboard stand-offs, zip ties, 1/2" plastic hose clamps and a mini screwdriver.
