ChromaticAngel 12/26/17 5:43:14 PM #18:	Re-iNcarnated posted... These are the compatibility notes I got: The Thermaltake - View 31 TG ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 420mm long, but video cards over 278mm may block drive bays. Since the MSI - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GAMING X 8G Video Card is 279mm long, some drive bays may not be usable. Is this a major issue? Depends. Problem could range anywhere from "you can't use all your HDD bays" (may be stuck with only one or two bays) to "you will have to disassemble the bay brackets in the case to fit the card" I recommend just getting a bigger case. The former issue is not a big one, but the latter issue is a fucking pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:892909516] in Building a...
