I have recently purchased a new HD7950 video card. However the video card is very long. In order to install the card I have to unmount the hard drive cage first.

If u look at the above pic, I have already removed all my hard drive. The only issue is i have to unmount the cage so that I have room for my video card.

Please advise how to do so. Thanks

Remove all hardware from the case. Locate the rivets along the cage, using a 3mm drill bit, drill out the 4 (possibly 6) rivets holding in the drive cage. Clean all metal shavings from the case (very, very important). Replace hardware and add video card.

I'll suggest ensuring you can access all the rivets with a drill before starting, the top ones kind of look tricky if I'm understanding the picture
