Hi, Thanks Having an full-ATX card in a mac pro case, you need to cut there is no room otherwise. right now there is about 40-60mm room for the motherboard card, top to bottom.

Hi, Well the cables I original ordered where out of stock so, ended up ordering some white sleeving for my front cables and made them my self. Link to post Share on other sites
