The motherboard tray can be removed via unscrewing two thumb screws from the rear panel. Removing the panel is easy and it gives plenty of room to install the motherboard and even the largest heatsinks, but unfortunately getting the tray back in place can be a pain. There really isn't too much space in between the edge of the motherboard and the roof of the middle compartment, so the large heatsinks easily touch the wall. Also the card support beam can be on the way while trying to guide the tray in place. It seems like the removal has been made as easy as possible, but at the cost of usability...
Also due to the great support for different form factors, the tray is full of mounting holes. It can take some time to figure the right holes for ATX motherboards as there are no marks of any kind which holes to use. Maybe Lian-Li could have engraved small marks to show which holes to use? The supplied standoff-screwdriver on the other hand makes installing the standoffs really easy.
Hard drives
Installing the hard dirves is a very straight forward process. First you mount the HDD(s) to the bracket(s) with four screws and then just slide them into place and lock with two plastic locks each. The fit of the sledge is very tight and I don't really see this method causing any excess noise. With standard drives the rear panel works like a charm, but be aware that it's impossible to install either IDE-drives or non-standard drives (such as WD Velociraptor) into this case without modifications.
As usually, the HDDs were installed to the three drive bays closest to each other to represent the worst case scenario temperature-wise.
Optical drives
Installing the DVD-drive also features sliding the drive in place, but this time around the locking in place is done with normal screws. The installation can be done to either side of the case, but during the installation it helps if you remove the 5,25" covers from both sides.
Like with all aluminum cases, I'd really have loved to see Lian-Li provide an aluminum front bezel for the optical drives. Even if the drive used in the test rig is black, the plastic front panel just looks cheap against the brushed aluminum panel.
Finished installation
Despite the nice tool-less features, the Tyr PC-X2000 definitely isn't the easiest case to build a rig into. For such a large case there's surprisingly little space around the CPU are and there really aren't any places to hide the cables into. There's some room behind the motherboard tray, but stuffing cables here will lead to the tray being impossible to use and also the side panel bending outwards.
