I have currently a Rosewill ATX Challenger USB 2.0 Mid Tower Case. I'm trying to make this graphics card of mine fit in the case, but the tray my hard drive rests on is in the way. How can I remove this?

Hi JustJoshingU
If the HDD tray is not removeable , and you wish to mod/remove the tray
check to see where the bottom cage is held to the case , it will most likely have rivets on the underside of the case going through the cage and in the back of the case holding it to the motherboard tray/panel you should be able to drill out these rivets and remove the cage but check first , that is assuming the bottom cage is seperate to the top cage which it looks like it is

I believe that the hard drive tray in your case is non removable, so now you have two options. You can mod the case to remove the hard drive bay or you can buy a new case. If you are going to buy a new case, I would suggest the Corsair 200R.

I basically found at least five little rivet screws that I can drill through that will allow me to detach the hard drive bay. That will then solve my dilemma and my new graphics card will be able to fit nice and snug. I just have to get my hands on a power drill.
