Tygon Anti-Kink Tubing

the problem is that I can not put the fan guards on the fan the radiator
when I do this and try and close the door it comes into full contact with the video card about 3/4 of the way closed if I leave the fan guards off it still comes into contact but just as the door is closed
this is not good and this is before I install a seond video card with the SLI bracket
now I have find a thinner rad
maybe thats why they have a cheep video card in the picures on there site
the case needs to be 2 inches wider

Reply to chuck817

well its not my fault
I have ordered several parts and most of them are backordered
3 to 4 weeks there on line webpages say that the parts are in stock but the company says other things
