Cases with support for vertical 2.5 slot gpu

[Forest_Penguin]

Hello All,

 

I'm looking for a standard atx case to replace my thermaltake core X9. My GPU is a palit gamerock GTX 1080 (2.5 slots wide). The card is insanely heavy and so I'd like to mount in vertically. what are some good affordable (preferably no more than $100 ish) cases that can vertically mount a 2.5 slot card?

Thanks, I've seen it. It's about both sag and looks but mainly sag. Jay's solution works reasonably well but not completely and he's using a much lighter card. My GPU is significantly heavier than your usual evga and asus cards

Additionally, some cases like the Cooler Master Master case 5T come with this feature integrated in the case  

 

 

If you hate the look of a pole, @Mnpctech also sells a GPU bracket that sits under the GPU giving it more support

That's a good idea, are there any other cases with these built in? I usually find poles rather obnoxious looking but in this case it looks pretty good.

Just updated my above posts with an alternative option that will work for any case!

at some point this summer I'll be making a new adj telescope rod with cushioned dampeners on both ends for supporting single card setups. Everyone loves simplicity. (yeah dixie's tongue hanging out out reminded me of GPU sag)
