Hello! I excitedly bought myself a new Graphics card for my setup. Now, this was the first time I’d ever built a computer, and the case I used was an old hand-me-down mid-tower. While purchasing the card I considered power draw and airflow, however I did not account for size. The drive bay can’t be removed if not by forceful means. I assume the best course of action is to just purchase or find a bigger case, but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing any option so that’s why I’m asking here. What do I do? Do I try to hardmod my case into having enough space for the card?
Wait hold on PSUs on the top is considered outdated?
Maybe it’s where I live but I’ve never seen a computer with a PSU on the bottom
Where are you where they’re still at the top? They’ve been in the bottom in basically everything for at least 15 years.
I was going to ask the same thing but it’s also been 15 years since I’ve built a computer so I have no idea what’s current on that.
It’s the thing now.
I still rock my case from 2003, but you do get better airflow this way.
