Any clever ideas on modding my case?

[djthiago1]

My case is limiting me from big cards (9+), anyone got a good idea on what to do with it? File it maybe?

Suggest a new case only as a last option cause my budget is a bit low on my build.

Maybe move your hdd's to your 5 and a quarter inch bays and completely remove the hdd bays ?

Those bays above my HDD are labeled DVD, would my hd fit in them ?

Not without adapters, but it should'nt be hard to find some cheap one's.

With an adapter they will.

Or just move the hdd to another spot on the bay and remove the metal for those that are blocking the longer card.

the problem is that entire external plate, which i dont think is removable.

it's probably riveted in, you could make it removable, which is why i suggested the dvd bays

External plate? Just grab the tin snips, cut and remove. Many have done this.

Just found them, great, but there's one more thing though, the hd and dvd drive is screwed on the front and back of it, is it okay to let it screwed only in the back?

in theory it sound's like it should be fine

I would still only cut the needed parts out of the top of the bay. That way you still have some 3.5" bays.

I've been looking at it, i think i can make a square cut in the lower bays where it touches the GPU sort of like this:
