Like its brother R120-V3, the L-1000 comes with a module attached to its top panel containing two 120 mm fans (glowing red when they are turned on) and two USB ports. This top model has a two-speed controller for the top fans. When the available switch is set to the “high” position, the fans spin at 1,500 rpm, but the manufacturer doesn’t say at what speed they spin when they are set at “low.” These fans must be connected directly to the power supply, using a standard peripheral connector.

The top USB ports must be connected to two USB ports available on the motherboard rear panel, using the connectors you can clearly see in Figure 7.

At the bottom panel the L-1000 has two air filters, which are accessible from outside the case for cleaning.

The rear panel and the interior of the Odyssey L-1000 are painted black, giving a nice overall look. The rear panel has a 120 mm fan identical to the one used on front panel. There are seven expansion slots, but they don’t come with vented covers. On the L-1000 the power supply is installed at the bottom part of the case.
