Technically it could fit in my case, but I’d have to remove the hard drive cage. Since I have two hard drives, it’s feasible, though discarding 4tb of storage would be a big loss. Honestly, I might think about it for this GPU and opt for an SSD later. I’d rather not, though—I’m unsure if there’s another solution I haven’t found yet. I noticed the top section of the cage has screws for SSD cages that could help me get the card in without removing everything.

I’m thinking about a 2 fan 7700xt, but the 12gb of VRAM doesn’t seem worth it to me. I’ve also talked to Corsair, who said the 380mm clearance works with either a 2-slot card or without the cage. The space above the cage should fit a 2-slot card, but when checking the card specs, it says it’s about 3 slots wide. That could be an issue. The clearance until you reach the HDD cage is 270mm, so I’d need to either take out the cage or switch cases.

Anyone have suggestions?

Here’s my current setup:

You might find these options and place them at the lower level of the case to keep your hard drives organized.
But when examining your case above the hard drive rack, you should remove those mounting hole patterns on the wall if you want a vertical installation.

This looks like the top choice. Also more affordable than purchasing a new case. Thanks.
