Running out of room on my hard-drive would like a second hard-drive but not sure if there's space in the drive cage, anyone got any idea?

yes there is,  you can use the exposed 3 1/2 bay, or get mounting rails and use 1 of the 5 1/4 bays

You have lots of options.

You could get rid of the floppy drive (assuming you have one) and install a hard drive there, but the drive may get a tad hot. You could get a 5.25" to 3.5" bracket adapter and put a hard drive in one of the optical drive bays (which is what I would do, assuming you only have a single optical drive).

You could get a Firewire or USB2 external hard drive enclosure, and put the second, non-booting drive in there.

You could just buy a bigger drive and replace the one you have with it.

No problem as I have four drives connected i.e. 2 sata, 1 ide connected by leaving the case off and bring the connectors out and one firewire, also 2 optical drives.
