GPU to big for case

[SebastienDr]

I have the Club8GB D5 X R9 390 Royal Queen gpu but it doesn't fit in my Zalman Z11 plus case and the case is very hard But i dont have the right tools to get the blockade out.
Any solution/cheap tools to cut steel or so?

Go to a local hardware store and ask them what they have

Or buy a shorter card

cheapest tool

a hacksaw blade with a handle like this

or can just use a hacksaw blade but your fingers get sore after a while

Im kinda broke right now cuz my whole set gaming pc+monitor+keyboard+ headset costed around 2800$ so that's why i asked for something cheap, my Graphics card costed 400€ that's +500$ so i wont get a new one, then i can better buy a new case

lol a hacksaw blade is dirt cheap--cant be that broke

Ik but Some people would send me a link to a 80$ tool,
Btw is there any automatically tool that is not very expencive?
I already tried a metal saw and after a minut i cut 1 mm

 

[mcnumpty23]

i have a pair of metal shears/snips they cost about £10 they would do it--if theres a rolled edge to the metal that takes more time to go through

or if not fussy a hammer sorts most things

Anything automatically?
Something that does the job in 5 minutes

yeah angle grinder or jigsaw with the right blade in it if they can reach the place you need to cut

Lol i accidently clicked on best solution oops but still not completly solved

 

[mcnumpty23]

or a cheapo oscillating tool they are pretty handy

 

[SebastienDr]

OK, i will tell when i found something thx already

 

[mcnumpty23]

OK, i will tell when i found something thx already

in case you dont know this is an oscillating tool and the blade can be rotated to get into more awkward places
