The bottom portion of the NZXT Lexa Aluminum Mid-Tower Case features four soft rubber pads which are positioned in each corner
that aid in keeping the entire unit stationary. The back of the case includes a standard PSU mount, I/O ATX back plate,
expansion slots, and 120mm rear exhaust fan mount. The orientation of the PSU mount can handle any type of standard or dual
fan ATX power supply currently on the market. What is interesting to note about the rear portion of the Lexa is that the
entire area includes what NZXT calls its "cable management" bracket. This is an extremely fragile piece of plastic that is
secured to the rear portion of the chassis using a series of screws. The "cable management" bracket is suppose to simplify
routing wires internally and externally but feels very cheap and flimsy.

Below the PSU mount is a single 120mm rear exhaust fan located behind a stamped grill that is integrated into the case
frame. Consumers concerned with maximizing air circulation in this case and easily remove this grill with any type of
Dremel or rotary tool. An ATX I/O back plate is provided in the accessory pack 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. The NZXT Lexa Aluminum Mid-Tower Case also comes equipped with plenty of expansion room in the form of 7 PCI/AGP slots ready for
use. The tabs covering the slots can be easily removed once the motherboard has been mounted.

Like most pre-modified cases currently on the market, the left side panel of the Lexa includes a pre-modified window which
provides a full sized view of the case interior and has an 120mm cooling fan that located directly in the peripheral card
area. A Quad LED 120mm fan that runs at 1100RPM has been installed and decorated with a mesh fan grill. The side panel
supports a piece of clear acrylic which is aligned on the inside of the case and is supported by a series of mounting
screws and metal clips.
