Inside the Dragon Rider
Contents
Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews. Before talking about the interior of the Dragon Rider, let’s show the other side of the side panels (see Figures 10 and 11). As you can see, the left panel is covered with foam in order to reduce the noise level produced by the computer.

The motherboard tray has a huge hole around the area where the CPU is installed, so you can replace the backplate of the CPU cooler without the need to remove your motherboard. Also, there is a 120 mm fan cooling down the bottom part of the CPU.
You can route cables behind the motherboard tray, thanks to the presence of two holes on the motherboard tray. Plus, the motherboard tray doesn’t go all the way down to the bottom panel, making it very easy to route the power supply and hard drive cables.
