Hi, i was just finishing my first build an found tha i can't connect any hdmi, dvi, ecc. cable to my Asus GTX 760 due to case damn expansion slots. they're to narrow (13-14mm) and connectors stuc in the case frame of the expansion slot. here's a photo. http://i62.tinypic.com/2ryos9t.jpg
i can't use the screew to place the graphic card and have to pull it down if i want to insert the hdmi.
Is this possible? ho much room do you have in your case expansion slots (height).
Think i got send back the case and find a new one...

Monitor cables (all of them, dvi, hdmi, ecc.) stuck into the case "pci slot" frame, and remain insert only partially in the connector cause there's no space between connector and frame.
Anyway your avatar explains my feelings now.

Can't find any "borderless" (just wide as the connector itself, like some usb key) hdmi connector on internet.
Do you know if they exist?

two of the screws that separates mobo from case (bronze ones) got a little border that made mobo go in place so i can't move mobo a lot, maybe i could change them whit some other that don't have that extra piece. Anyway trust me, i need to move at least 4-5 mm the mobo to put a normal hdmi connector into, so there's some problem with the grapich card (connectors could be more centered) and also with pci slots position of the case, imho, otherwise i can't explain why the two screw placed over pci case slots fit perfectly but slots don't leave enough room for normal connectors.
Think it's a very weird situation. Now i will wait for the hdmi connector posted above cause it's much thinand i'm almost sure will fit hdmi without much problem.
Seems absurd but the main part of my buil is going to be the hdmi cable.
