Can this Card raiser be installed in a Define S?

Hey i'm just curious if THIS could be installed in a  Fractal Design Define S.

Not natively you will require some pretty good modding to the case for that to be able to fit.

I posted a similar query to this, in regard to my own case. For me, I'd need to remove the metal bars between the PCI slots to accommodate the 90 degree turn of the GPU.

@Ser James Acinonyx of Compactis On the motherboard or the case itself?

That would have to be done to the case so it could house the bracket since it's suppose to fit like this (similar bracket):

@W-L So is there just no other choice like this without modding?

No unless you get their specific case designed for this type of bracket. 

[Cyberspirit]

@W-L Well that suck.

If I do decide to cut the PCI metal bars to accommodate a vert. GPU bracket, could I still re-install the PCI covers later, if I decided to take out the bracket for any reason? I'd assume I can, but thought I'd still ask.

Theoretically yes as long as the tabs for the PCI-E slots are still intact after the mod. I would check to see though before cutting if everything has enough clearance and is able to fit into place.

If you're referring to case compatibility, I've seen it done in the exact model.
