What's Included:

The Vexx Alien Limited Edition also comes with the standard fare of screws, nuts, washers, and power cable found with any other case. It also uses some nice lightweight thumbscrews and includes a Sunbeam green cold cathode kit. The cathode kit comes with a the cathode light, an inverter that supports an additional light, a power adapter for the inverter, and a round rocker switch. Seeing how the goal of the Vexx case is to minimize modding efforts, the cathode kit would have worked out better if it came with a switch that installs into a free case slot in the back. However, the round rocker switch still installed fairly easily with a big drill bit so no biggie.

Inside the Vexx:

The inside of the case was fairly sturdy and quite roomy. There is the capacity to hold (4) external 5.25", (2) external 3.5", and (4) internal 3.5" drives. This case's ability to hold so many drives is impressive considering its overall height is less than that of my Lian Li PC60 case. The front of the case can also hold up to (4) 80mm fans. In order to install the fan(s), you would have to remove the front bezel which comes off without too big a struggle. There were 2 screws holding the bezel onto the case which I found unnecessary because the bezel held onto the case just fine without them. Leaving them off saves me some effort (I'm that lazy) when I want to remove the bezel later on.

The Vexx comes with a vanilla 350w powersupply manufactured by Raidmax. Raidmax is a somewhat familiar name and makes decent powersupplies. This power supply only comes with one fan in the back of the unit and runs fairly quiet. This power supply would serve most regular applications well, however, overclockers may need something that has more power and more fans (to make up for the lack of a bigger fan vent in the back of the case). Installation within the case was a snap due to the ample space inside the case. Installing my Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard into the Vexx still left me plenty of room to work with in regards to the 5.25" drive slots - whereas some cases were designed in such a way that some of my 5.25" would not be able accomodate drives because the motherboard was in the way. Below are a couple of pics of what resulted in the completion of the the installation with the Vexx.

Note: the second pic has a very nice dragon applique I picked up at Voyeurmods.

Final Thoughts:

The Vexx Alien Limited Edition surpassed many of my expectations of what premodded cases would be like. The construction of the case was fairly sturdy yet lightweight. The paint job, window, and fan mods are absolutely top notch. Having the LCD temperature displays are a definite plus. Put all that in along with USB 2.0 support and a cathode kit and you've got a really nice package. The only thing that really bothered me was the rather small fan exhaust mount. While this case may not be for the hardcore mod consumers (who tend to do their own anyways), it accomplishes exactly what Voyeurmods set out to do. It brings "the "Mods" to the "Masses". Many consumers would appreciate how the Vexx saves them time and effort doing mods. Great job on the case.

Pros:
• Comes with a cathode kit and temperature displays.
• Excellent value at $99.95.
• GREAT job on the high gloss paint.
• Holds lots of drives and fans while remaining small in overall size.
• Professional looking window and fans mods.
• Solid construction.

Cons:
• Cathode kit's round rocker switch possibly requires further mod.
• Could use a more powerful power supply.
• Doesn't support 80mm or larger fan in the rear of the case.

A big thanks to Voyeurmods.com for sending this case for review. For those interested, the Vexx Alien Limited Edition is available here.
