As previously mentioned, VoyeurMods has expanded its business by offering professional case modification services. One of the unique services is the ability to have your case panel cut using a water-jet. For this particular rig, the MTB Logo was created in what VoyeurMods dubs a two stage window process. The panel was first cut to a sizable window shape. The excess was used to cut the MTB Logo using uncanny precision. The two windows were aligned with acrylic, sound proof material and rubber trim to keep the design together. The result from the lengthy process is a fantastic look that provides this custom rig one its best stand out features.

One of the key components to the high performance water cooling solution is the addition of the new VoyeurMods Typhoon 120x reservoir. The Typhoon 120x is a versatile reservoir that conveniently mounts in any 120mm fan hole. The unit includes two inlets and two outlet ports that enable multiple pulls and multiple returns to and from the reservoir. The top portion of the Typhoon 120x features a screw-in plug which is used to seal the fill hole. By positioning the Typhoon 120x towards the top portion of the case allows it to act as an all-in-one fill and bleed system. Air released from the water coolant will rise to the top of the unit eliminating air trapped in the hose lines, water block and pump. One additional feature that has been installed with the Typhoon 120x is an UV Cold Cathode Ring adapter which lights the reservoir when the system is powered.
