On the bottom of the panel there is a orange LED 120 mm fan covered by mesh airflow cutouts for system cooling.
Case Rear: On the rear we have our other included 120mm fan, if you are building with a liquid cooler this will support the radiator. We also have a total of 7 expansion slots as well as grommets fitted to the case for liquid cooling tubes. In this case the power supply mounts at the bottom of the rear end and comes with 1 removable filter to keep system PSU clean and cool.

Case Bottom: Looking at the bottom we have four rubberized feet. Also here is a fan filter should you choose to mount your PSU fan side down which is a nice feature to have to keep dust from your PSU and interior clean.

The panel may be removed for quick access to cable management and other features. Designed for extra space behind the motherboard tray providing additional cable management.

Our Comments:
The Raidmax Viper GX II is a bargain case with many options often sought in higher end full sscale ATX towers including modular drive bays, extended VGA support, dual 240 mm liquid cooling support and hotswap drive technology. This case is highly adaptable and can be configured with many different build options due to excess space provided for various support elements. The Viper GX II is a step up from the similar Raidmax Viper II case reviewed previously, with larger cooling and VGA supported. A great buy at a great price, this case could pack a knockout punch for your media and gaming needs.
