You can use a dremel or similar tool to cut them out yourself... and you can drill the holes to put in the screw that holds the card in place with the dremel too.

Ofc don't expect to be able to rma the case xD

You want to fit the 4way sli mobo in there but do you realize that if you try to do 4way SLI, you can't do it with 4 dual slot cards because I don't know of any cases that have 8 expansion slots ( I'm sure there are, I just don't know of them).

Just a little heads up.

A case that doesnt have 9 expansion slots, is not intended to have 9 slots, even with modding. I would reccomend you to buy a huge Lian Li Case istead. The A77B is a great example, and its really a beast for the price

You could also buy 2 4870x2s, 2 gtx 295s, or 2 5970s. Thats quad fire/ sli with just two cards and they should use less power and produce less heat. I wouldn't recommend cutting an extra slot (especially in a case like that) and would just buy the two cards. The 800d is also massive so if you have trouble fitting 4 way sli then it might not be worth it.

For 4-way SLI, EVGA recommends a chassis with 10 expansion slots and a PSU of 1500w and greater.

Pretty sure its XL-ATX but I have yet to see one case thats made to support it. I'm sure you can sneak by with 8 slots on the back but I guess that depends on how they motherboard is set up.

Edit: Just saw that Da tick's link had reccomended cases:

* Lian Li PC-P80
* Lian Li PC-P80R
* HEC 98 98R9BB
* Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000SNA
* Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000BWS
* Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000BNS
* Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000BNSB
* Thermaltake ArmorPlus VH6000BWS
* Mountain Mods Acension w/ Modular Motherboard Tray 10 PCI Slot
* Xigmatek CPC-T75UB-U01

the PC-P80 supports the Classified x4. You need to have a case with 10 pci brackets in it
