I have been thinking that instead of buying a new case for a future build I could possibly fit the larger video cards if I were to move my HDDs. I think I have two options.
Option 1. Turn the HDDs arond so the wires are in the back like in this pic. It looks like it is exactly 10.5 inches which is a bit tight. I also would not be able to replace the front fan that I had removed.
Option 2 I could remove the bracket that holds cage in place by drilling out a few rivets and removing the speaker. I think the plugs are on the top of the new cards so i think it would fit.
I would be interested in anybodies thoughts about these two options and any other ideas.
Current installation.
I think this bracket could be moved over to the right after removing the speaker.
When I hold the cage where it would be moved to the right it looks like there would be enough room.
