When they say the removable drive cage needs to be removed to install a full length video card does that mean I'm losing space for 4 drives or it mean I remove the change, install the GPU then reinstall the cage?

Also are there any other cages in the $60 range I could look into?
I'm not building a beast of a machine here. Just a simple computer based around a Haswell 4670 and maybe a R9 290X. I don't need something like a HAF X but at the same time I want room to make the build easy.

Installing a GPU that is longer than the length allowed will require permanent removal of the drive cage. If you need more than four drives, there are 5.25" bay adapters that fits 3.5" drives.

I guess I should consider the HAF 922 although that's $30 more.

Any other cases I should look at?

From the installation guide:

- 270mm (10.6 inches) with HDD cage.
- 390mm (15.4 inches) without HDD cage.
