Disk Drives
The Dragon Slayer case has space for an optical and floppy disk drives. The floppy disk drive bay can also double as a hard drive bay. The installation of the optical drive was quite easy. I removed the cover from the front panel as well as the tool-less secure pins and just slid the drive into the bay. Below the pictures showing the secure pins and the look of the drive from the front. In most cases the addition of an optical drive somehow takes away from the overall elegance of the case. I was pleasantly surprised that the addition of the optical drive to the Dragon Slayer case in fact adds to the good looks of the case. It gives off the impression that it somehow belongs exactly where it had been put.

Motherboard

The installation of the motherboard was an easy task to accomplish as the case has ample room. The motherboard that I have installed in the case has 1 slot, however, the case will fit motherboards with up to 5 slots. It will also fit large graphics cards with relative ease as can be seen by the ample space in the pictures below.
Hard Drives
The hard drive cage in the Dragon Slayer cage is removable. In fact in order to install the drives inside the cage, the cage first has to be removed from the case. This can be done by removing the 2 pins on the side of the cage, remove the 2 front covers on the front of the case and the slide the hard drive cage out. While this may seem like a cumbersome task, it does facilitate the installation of the hard drives. The slide rails are then attached to the hard drives by screws and the hard drives just slide into the cage. This process is illustrated in the pictures below.

The Dragon Slayer also includes spaces for hard drives other than in the hard drive cage. As you can see in the pictures below there is a slot available for a 2.5″ hard drive. As I have mentioned before, another hard drive can be added into the space for the floppy disk dive. This means that at any one time there could be a total of 4×3.5″, 1×2.5″ hard drives.
