MSI MPG Velox 100R Case Review

A Closer Look – Interior

The interior is nice and spacious, as all the HDD bays and boring stuff are either behind the motherboard or under that PSU shroud. It’s all blacked out too, so the interior looks very uniform. There’s a large cut-out behind the motherboard, and some routing holes dotted around it, which should all ease the installation process.

At the back, you’ll find a 120mm fan is pre-installed, and seven expansion slots. There’s an optional vertical GPU bracket included in the box, which I’ll install when I do my build. However, the riser cable is sold separately, but they’re not overly expensive anyway.

The front of the case has three more 120mm fans, and they’re all the same MSI branded ARGB design, which looks awesome when powered on, as you’ll see on the next page! Of course, given the fan configuration, the front panel will also support up to 360mm radiators.

There’s room for two more 120mm fans on the right side of the case, should you wish to utilise that side panel ventilation.

There’s room for three more fans or another 360mm radiator in the top too, but overall, the case will support up to seven fans maximum.

The PSU shroud looks great and runs the full length of the case. There’s a cut-out to showcase the PSU on the side, and a cut-out at the front to allow for front panel cooling hardware. It will hide a lot of cables and storage underneath, but there are plenty of ventilation and cable routing holes here too, so it’s pretty practical overall.

One thing that does look cool though, is that line of RGB lighting that runs the length of it; I’ll power that up shortly.

Behind the motherboard, you’ll find a decent amount of space for cable routing. However, there’s loads of room under the shroud anyway, so any excess cable can easily be stashed out of the way. Cable routing holes all look nicely located, and there are points to strap down any cables to keep things neat and tidy too.

There are two SSD mounts right behind the motherboard, each with a removable bracket for easy installation.

There’s a larger HDD bracket in the base too, which can move moved further back in the case to make way for cooling hardware, or simply removed entirely if you so desire.

There’s certainly a lot of room for the PSU, and a huge amount of space for your cables too.
