i'm currently trying to fit in a red devil vega in my cm sctorm scout 1, it doesn't work. that gfx is too long. so what would be the most simple way to get that gfx inside my case and working?

Hey AH!

I would say - selling your current and getting a shorter card is a cheaper way.

The other way is to get the case for long card, which would be an "investment", but neverless lots of lost time for little achievement.

I had Chieftec Dragon 901 (aka the "big" tower), but for exactly same reason had to replace it with PCD. Yours is pretty good, - the 3+x 5" section is good in the long run as it can be inhanced with "5.25" to 2" or 3.5" " converter, which would allow to plug 4 of 3.5" drives/ssd into that bay; but I can imagine the fact its non-removable, makes it impossible to get very long cards inside....

The third option is dismantling of that cage by finding four or three rivets that hold it, drilling them out and mounting them with three or four screws+nuts instead. However its most time consuming and most difficult. I have done something like this too and almost drilled through my finger.

I've on occasion just had hardware outside the case (done PSUs and hard drives, but not a graphics card, myself). If you're going to do that you need to protect the fans and make sure you provide a path to ground at the end of card, but you can just clip the aluminum at the back of the case and let the card stick out the back. Cases like the one you're linking aren't exactly carefully-machined air tunnels.

If you watercool, even better.

bump hi and thanks for the suggestions,

aside from getting a bequiet 600 and sell my current case, which would be a pain in the ass too i guess, i'm currently thinking about the drilling thing. i also found a thread where someone has done that with a cm storm scout 1. sounds like too much hassle. how did you fix the gfx while all hardware was outside?

Chainsaw?

Yeah, very accurate presentation of what I did. Glad I could be of some help, AH.
