kamicom United States180 Posts September 06 2013 01:00 GMT #1 I'm building my first work station computer for 3D-modeling but I ran into a problem with my Quadro K600 graphics card-- it's not long enough to slide into the tower's slot! (low profile...) Noob mistake; I didn't realize there are compatibility issues with that. i'm assuming the best action to take is to sell the tower and get one that's compatible? Or should I sell the k600 and get another graphics card that fits the tower? However, it looks like I could remove the entire tray and maybe install one that would suite the graphics card (I am not using any other slots). Please help!

Otherwise you'll curse yourself and have to bust out a beefy saw & drill, or wait ~days to get one delivered. Like certain other idiots...
