hey guyz, a quick question would the Gigabyte 3D Aurora fit a HD4870X2 or should i modify the internal layout (remove the HDD cage and install the HDD's in the upper 3.5" drive bay's)
BTW the dimensions are: 205 x 522 x 510 (W x H x D)

i have that exact same case and i have a Sapphire HD4870 and it bearly fits in, so i reckon you may have to remove the HDD cage to fit the HD4870X2.

Indeed. The lower HDD cage will have to be removed.

yes it will, but if arent using some of the CD/DVD drives then i think you can get a holder cage that u can put your hdd into it and it will slot into the space of a 5.25 drive. just an idea for you!
