The VoyeurMods MTB Custom PC-V1100B Mid-Tower Case features a swing away front bezel door which shields the external drive bays when not in use. The door is held in place via two silver ball bearings that have been placed at the top and bottom of the front bezel. The PC-V1100B incorporates a small chrome lock that is embedded into the right side of the swing away door and uses a set of keys which are included in the package. The lock is a welcome addition for a home or office environment by providing a solution for added security and a deterrent for chassis intrusion.

A total of 5 x 5.25" external drive bays are available with no bays available for any 3.5" external devices. To get around this problem and provide a level of functionality; VoyeurMods modified the last 5.25" drive bay and added in a 3.5" 4-port Rheobus. The 4-port Rheobus features four channel outputs rated at 12 watts per channel. Each channel provides 7-12V DC output to any attached fans via a 3-pin fan connector. Below the 4-port Rheobus is the location for an oversized stainless steel Power switch and mini Power and HD LEDs. Absent from this configuration was the inclusion of a Reset switch option.

Below the stainless steel Power switch is the location for the front mounted ports. The ports include two USB, Firewire, Headphone and Microphone ports. The ports are connected to a series of extender cables which must be connected to the proper headers on a motherboard prior to use. To the make PC-V1100B chassis easy to transport, Lian-Li has added four beautiful solid aluminum wheels. The wheels look similar to what you would find on the bottom of a skateboard but compliment this case quite well. There is a two stage braking mechanism that has been included that allows consumers to make the wheels free flowing for transport or configured in a locked position to keep the case stationary. A small lever towards the back of the case activates this feature by positioning it in the forward or reversed position.
