[SOLVED] Solutions for fitting a long GPU in Dell Optiplex 790 Full tower

[imjimjim22]

I recently bought a Dell Optiplex 790 full tower to attempt to make it into a budget gaming machine. I upgraded the PSU from the stock dell PSU to a rosewill ARC 450, The RAM from 4gb to 12gb, the HDD from 160gb to 32gb ssd and 1tb HDD, and the GPU to a Sapphire RX 480. The GPU will not fit because the drive cage is in the way. Is there any rigging I can do like Velcroing the HDD and SSD to the bottom of the case and removing the drive cage? Any help is appreciated!

A 32GB SSD? Good luck with that.

Can you move those drives and hack the cage away? Probably.

That is probably what i'll do then. BTW the ssd was one I had laying around, I'll get around to upgrading it sooner or later.

Drill out the rivets.

Just use better drill techniques and control than this guy does.....and an extension for the final rivets.
