ANOTHER UPDATE

 

turns out if you look closely at the harddrive cages you can see that they  are actually removable but the catch is it's the only harddrive cage in my case... BUT WAIT maybe i can put my hard drive in the DVD drive area (which is about the width of my HDD) but if not there's always tape :^)

Ductape to the floor of the case, it never failed me.

I have the sapphire 280 3GB, it's a pretty big card and in my old hp case it wouldn't even have a chance of fitting without cutting. You should just pickup a bigger case that is not OEM, I got the Antec one gaming (not that expensive) but has the ability to get really good airflow.

i decided to remove the hard drive cage and put the hard drive in an empty dvd drive slot
