I have the Fractal Design core 1100 and it's a quite small case. I was about to get the Zotac GTX 960, but it seems it is to big because of my hard drive bracket getting in the way. Can I put my hard drive anywhere else like putting velcro tabs on the bottom or do anything else? Thanks!
Not enough space for graphics card because of HD bracket

You can buy fairly cheaply, 5.25 to 3.5 drive adapter. fits in a dvd 5.25 bay behind the cover for the HDD to mount in there
example http://www.ebay.com/itm/startech-3-5-to-5-25-drive-bay-adapter-/161512980893
if the drive is 2.5 then get a 5.25 to 2.5 adapter
this bracket does both 3.5 and 2.5 http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-AC52535-1S-Aluminum-5-25-inch/dp/B005OJFASY

+1 to using the 3.5"-to-5.25" metal brackets and shoving the HDD into the slots up top. or... using 2.5" drives and velcroing them anywhere. or just using a different case. i once bought the 1100 but returned it after seeing how an Antec VSK-3000 works. i now only buy the VSKs for small mATX builds.
