Ah yes. Getting new hardware then realizing that it won't fit without modifications or if you buy a new case. New cases are cheap enough at this point I would probably have gone that route (get better airflow).
Still, you do what you got to do.
I considered getting a new case but this will do for now at least. I still can't get over how huge this card is. We might get to a point where they just make them external units.
