So it`s a small case then. and the card is so long.
That the internal bays where you mount hard drives inside the case are the problem no doubt. In the way
limiting the type and length of graphics card you can place in the iMedia S2190 case.
What would I do.
Well if I still had the old case, I would take the Motherboard out of the I media S2190 case.
And put it in my old case, along with the rest of the hardware.
Saying that it`s a pre built system, so you may run into problems with the motherboard fitting and the Psu in the iMedia S2190 may be a custom job, and not the standard dimensions of a after market PSU.
But you could have a look and give it a go, if you still have the old case.
When it comes to custom, or pre built system such as HP ect. the thing they always do is make the system custom and the case that houses it.
And upgrading, or providing room for upgrading is the Game HP and a like don`t play.
Because they want you to have to buy a whole new system off them again as your upgrade.
To make more money in a sense.
Done on purpose if you like. As you have just found out no doubt thinking how bloody stupid of them.

Exactly.
Due to the case being a custom size and not the dimensions of a standard bare ATX case you would buy retail.
The card is obviously a tight fit and the case is likely to be the cause.
All or most pre built systems and cases follow this rule. from HP Dell,Lenovo. The list goes on Hamzah.
All done for a purpose, your best off buying a Atx case with lots of room for future upgrades.
That way you can use it more than once with no space problems and likely more space to fit extra hardware such as more hard drives at a later date ect. Think of it that way.
