Hey everyone, I built this machine last year:

I have a geforce 650 in it, which is a 6" card, I happened to have one. I have been thinking of getting a 660ti or 670 but they are 10" cards. It doesn't look like a 10" card will fit this case. The clips for the HD rails are in the way, I can turn those around, easy enough, but it also looks like the metal housing for the HDs are also in the way.
Does anyone have a similar configuration and a larger geforce card? Or is there a 6" 660 or 670 out there I am not seeing? Thanks!

Zotac makes a shorter GTX 660. Either overclocked or not. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500291

You would want to do some research to be sure that it works with OS X. They also seem to make a GTX 660 Ti with the same form factor, if that is relevant.

Also, I know I have seen photos of builds in the Prodigy with full length graphics cards, a la the GTX 670 or a Radeon 7970, so it can be done. But that might have involved removing a secondary hard drive cage. Is that a possibility? I'm not familiar enough with the case to be sure.

Ack! Thanks for your reply. Thought I had subscribed to the thread, but I guess not!
Thank you for finding the shorter cards. It does look like the HDD cage will come out... only I have filled it and the one below. I might be able to work around that, though.

Thanks.

You can take the modular hard drive bay out of the top and the 660Ti will fit; I just did that build this weekend.
