The front bezel of the Diabolic Minotaur Mid-Tower Gaming Case features 4 external 5.25" drive bay slots that can handle any type of computer configuration. All the bay covers are manufactured out of curved plastic and sport the same blood red based theme as the exterior. The surface of each drive bay cover is smooth with a polished appearance and is secured to the base of the chassis via four plastic clips. Underneath the 5.25" drive bays is the location for two external 3.5" floppy drive bays. The external 3.5" drive bay slots are suitable for mounting floppy devices or fan based controlling devices.

The theme of the Diabolic Minotaur Mid-Tower Gaming Case is provoke thoughts of mystery and danger which is why I find it humorous that CasEdge would include a oversized Power button with a happy smiling face. The Power button includes an embedded LED which lights up bright red when the system is powered. Surprisingly, no Reset switch option is available and consumers will have to manually reset the system when needed. Towards the left and right of the Power button are two additional LEDs which make up the eye portion of the Minotaurs face. The eyes also have embedded LEDs which light up during HD activity.

The Diabolic Minotaur Mid-Tower Gaming Case includes four front mounted USB 2.0 ports, one IEEE 1394 Firewire port as well as an Audio and Headphone jack. Each port is connected using a bypass cable that must be connected to the appropriate motherboard header. Consumers will be required to check their motherboard manual on the proper instruction for attaching each cable. The ports are hidden by a plastic chrome coloured shield which can be pushed down when the ports are not in use.
