Hello! I excitedly bought myself a new Graphics card for my setup. Now, this was the first time I’d ever built a computer, and the case I used was an old hand-me-down mid-tower. While purchasing the card I considered power draw and airflow, however I did not account for size. The drive bay can’t be removed if not by forceful means. I assume the best course of action is to just purchase or find a bigger case, but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing any option so that’s why I’m asking here. What do I do? Do I try to hardmod my case into having enough space for the card?
This is one of those problems you run into and then learn to check for moving forward. I did. I ended up buying a new case and then checking the dimensions of any new hardware I bought.
My buddy took a dremel to his HDD cage.
Both are valid.
