GTX 460 won't fit in case. Quick Question!
I have the Ultra X Blaster case and when I tried to install the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 graphics card the two metal prongs at the bottom are hitting the motherboard and preventing the card from going into the slot. Since I can't post URL's because of being a new member, I can PM you the link to a picture of what I'm talking about.

So my question is, can I snap off the two prongs without any damage to the graphics card? I didn't know if they were needed to ground the card or anything so I wanted to check before I did it.

Don't Snap Off ANYTHING.
If anything take some sheetmetal sheers and cutout some of the drive bay.

Yeah, I didn't snap anything off. After messing around with it some more I got it to fit by taking off another one of the slots. on the case. This thing is so big it takes up two bays. lol
