you know that extra tray on the bottom of the disk drives? you need to cut that out to fit the three slot 12 inch card, anyway i don't think hp cases offer good cooling so that may be a problem. I had a hd 7970 in a hp elite case before and it worked out fine

Question within a question thread! (Sorry)

I bought a R9 290 and a Rosewill case, I was advised from PC Picker to remove some of the trays for the card to fit. Does that mean that I have to remove the whole HDD trays for my card to fit? Or just a part of it? If I have to remove all of it, where will I put the HDD? 😵

Edit: Asked this question in the forum and has been answered.

As ultrawakawaka said, it will fit, you will need to remove some of the bay areas (I will have to do the same for my case). But I think cooling might be a problem, especially if you are thinking about overclocking.
