Hey Guys! I just recently wanted to upgrade my GPU from 2gb 7850 to R9 290 (powercolor PCS+). All of the reviews said that the Rosewill Challenger case that I have should support any GPU under 11.5". My 290 is 10.5". I can't seem to fit the damn thing. Anybody here that has the same case have any suggestions? I would hate to buy a new case just to fit my GPU. Thanks!

May I ask how you were able to fit it in exactly? I don't know if the r9 290 is just a thicker card but the drive bay seems to be blocking the bottom portion of the card. I'm thinking I should just get a full tower and not have to worry about this.
