If you buy a new video card, check your case size and shape
Finally pulled that 3080 off ebay and decided to just install it in my current system. Turns out that its 13 inches long and 5 inches wide meaning it was too long to fit without overlapping into the hard drive bay. No problem I thought, I'll just cut a chunk out of the case with my dremel. Being aluminum it wasn't too hard. After that I realized I was going ot have to cut another chunk out of the case because it still wouldn't fit. I broke down and went to buy a new case instead of fucking with it.

That reminds me of when Fonaplats was convinced he'd get a beasty video card in his slim line Dell Optiplex and everyone called me a moron for pointing out the case and PSU wouldn't even remotely support it.
I'm pretty sure he ended up cutting up his case to install a shitty 20gb SSD
