NOTE: This is an HTPC case and was not designed as a gaming case so the location of the DVD will interfere with the primary graphics slot if a large graphics card is used. There are 3 work arounds for this. 1. If using one card, use a motherboard where the secondary slot runs as fast as the primary graphics slot (confirm this with the manufacturer) and use the secondary slot. 2. Use a graphics card with length less than 8". 3. If running multiple cards, or you need to use the primary graphics slot and a large graphics card, the DVD/3.5" bracket can be removed and you can just use a USB DVD drive when needed.
