The bezel design of the VoyeurMods MTB Custom PC-V1100B Mid-Tower Case does not include any type of front air intake. As an alternative, the feature has been moved to the underside of the case where a small ventilation slot exists to draw cool air into the chassis. To compliment the ventilation slots, VoyeurMods also cut a 120mm fan mount and installed an HWLabs Black Ice Extreme Radiator for the water cooling system.

The back portion of the VoyeurMods MTB Custom PC-V1100B Mid-Tower Case features a standard PSU mount, I/O ATX back plate, expansion slots, and a single 120mm fan mount. While the left and right side panels are completely removable, the top panel has been riveted directly to the chassis. The top portion of the case includes 7 PCI/AGP slots ready for use. The tabs covering the slots can be easily removed once the motherboard has been mounted. One point to note is that the orientation of the PCI/AGP slots has been flipped upside down in order to work with the BTX format. Below the PCI/AGP slots is a single 120mm exhaust fan located behind a removable fan shroud that sits comfortably on the case frame. An ATX I/O back plate is provided which will fit most standard motherboards and includes all the necessary cut outs for serial, parallel, video, USB, mouse, keyboard, onboard LAN and integrated sound.

One of the nice design aspects of the PC-V1100B is that the PSU mount is located towards the bottom instead of the top portion of the case. The orientation of the PSU mount can handle any type of standard ATX power supply including units which use dual fan configurations. One important point to note about the PSU mount is that there are size restrictions which prohibit using larger sized modular units such as Ultra Products X-Connect brand. The PC-V1100B uses one of best tool-free panel removal systems that I have seen any existing aluminum case. All that is required to gain access to the interior is to remove one thumbscrew and pull the locking latch backwards to free the side panel.
