    Ugh, maybe you should take that 30 dollar rebate and start applying it towards a new case.
    You'll never fit a newer performance card in that space.

    Actually, just putting it out there, I can move the drive bay up to where all the wires are and move the wires down.... the only problem will be that the front intake fan will be in the center of the case... which looks weird

    ...but probably more efficient as heat rises plus it will give the graphics fan a little space at the bottom where it's not fighting for the air flow.

    I suggest a Corsair Graphite 600T case and the GPU of your dreams maybe two?

    New question.... is the 6870 crossfire compatible with the 5770?


    edit: nvm, stupid question, of course it doesn't.

    lol yeah I know what you were thinking with that, there are supposedly motherboards out that can make mismatched cards run now, I haven't had the chance to mess with one yet personally though.

    This is a wicked option on the AMD side, called a Fusion mobo......highly suggest as an option.
