PC SPECIALIST Tornado R5

I have some vouchers to spend at PC World and was thinking of replacing my 12 year old desktop. I like the specs on this one but from the picture I can't work out if I can add a Blu-ray drive, it looks as though there are no removable plates at the front of the system.

Has anyone bought one of these that might be able to let me know if this is possible? PC SPECIALIST Tornado R5 AMD Ryzen 5 GTX 1060 Gaming PC - 1 TB HDD

With the amount of vouchers I have this would be £499 which looks really good for this spec.

Thanks so much for that, I spent ages googling the damn thing and didn't find a sodding thing about the case. Thanks for the confirmation think I will get one of these to go with it https://www.amazon.co.uk/OWC-Mercury-External-Blue-Ray-Enclosure/dp/B06XRCCV44/ref=pd_cp_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XRCCV44&pd_rd_r=2d7898c9-ef6a-11e8-8e9d-dde34b3ccda1&pd_rd_w=CkTPJ&pd_rd_wg=sf3ar&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=0ca7ef78-a9c4-4935-a8ff-59221f1ded3e&pf_rd_r=9P5BN9S6PD32TF91BDRZ&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=9P5BN9S6PD32TF91BDRZ

That should solve the issue of the external drive.

The ebay link you posted is just for the enclosure, there is no drive - you would need to add one of your choice

Thanks, yep I already have one in my current machine will just take it out and pop it in the enclosure.
