A way for the 800d/700d to have 8x pci-e slots?

Is there a way that the case will ever have 8x slots and not the 7 plus 1 vent.

 

Is there a mod to make it like that

 

Or a 800d/700d refresh in the near future to include it

 

One screw holding a dual slot is not that secure to me, and tri sli/crossfire is much nice with a spacing in between them

now that u mention that i have a 6 pci-e slot motherboard and the way the motherboard lines up in the case the top slot cannot be used

slot 2 lines up with pci-e 1, slot 3 with pci-e 2 and so forth

i'm currently using an sli setup and one screw per dual slot card is perfectly fine

the top of my the bracket on my cards are concave up and allow fitment of the top screw so basically two screws secure the card (sorta...)

just screw them in snug so the cards don't sag but don't overtighten

thing is that most of the dual slots have the stupid U shape on the first slot so it can somehow slowly start to slip n bend

 

so i like to use both screw holes, so the bottom one prevents it from moving, but on the 7th pci slot on this case would end up being aligned with the first slot of a gfx card so, im afraid it would slip n bend the card

 

i dont get y it doesn't come with a 8th slot, i will pay 10 dollars or so more just to have this in there

this case wasn't really future proof designed but i'm happy with it

mine are pretty tightly secured and i prop it up while screwing it in so it's nice and level and no bending or sagging occurs

make sure your motherboard is aligned correctly, even a mm or so makes a difference
