Any case recommendations that are very similar but can fit the relatively massive 1070? The card seems to overlap my drive bays by about 1/2 inch.

EDIT: I said Storm Tropper, I mean CM Scout. (Used to have a Storm Trooper)

REMOVABLE HDD CAGE
The HDD cage can be easily removed to accommodate long high-end graphics cards.


unless ur just bored of the case and you want a new one.
which then we would need to know what kind of budget you had in mind for a new mid tower.

I have 3 HDD's and a SSD, I suppose I could just tape the SDD to something and mount the HDD's on the bottom tray. Any further expansion would finally be the catalyst for me to get a NAS.

Thanks for the idea - what's the recommended method for cutting the rivets in order to separate the cages?

EDIT, NM, just watched the video and realized it's just a slide out wall, not a whole cage... thats awesome! I love this case!
