The card is 11.2" long (284.5mm), the case accepts cards up to 281mm. You will have to remove the drive cage to fit it in.

Well, the lower drive cage is removable I believe. But the card would occupy the 2nd and 3rd slots. So the non-removable 3 1/2" cage above would be a problem. I'd look for a different card or think about a different case.

Had the same problem. Realized it after purchasing. So I bent the lower SSD cage a bit from the edge using pliers. Worked fine 
Yes, there's always the solution of "modifying" the case to make something fit that it wasn't designed for. I have done my share.
