3R System L-900 V.REX F8 Case Review

Inside the L-900 V.REX F8

Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews, which is nice to see on an entry-level product. The motherboard tray has a huge hole around the area where the CPU is installed, so you can replace the backplate of the CPU cooler without the need to remove your motherboard. Because of the bump on the right-side panel, the L-900 allows you to route cables behind the motherboard tray, which has several holes and metallic clips for you to fasten cables using ties.

Expansion cards are fastened to the case using regular screws, but at least they are black. The L-900 comes with a bracket installed on one of its expansion slots for you to install a 120 mm fan to cool down the interior of the case.

The L-900 supports video cards up to 11” (280 mm) long.

In the L-900 you can install the power supply with its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you will have to decide if you want the power supply to be pulling cool air from outside the case (fan facing down) or hot air from inside the case (fan facing up). The case comes with a removable air filter for the power supply fan on its bottom panel, as shown previously. There is an air mesh below the hard drive cage, but you can’t install a fan on it.
