Does anybody have or heard of people having problems installing those double slotted video cards into cases like the Thermaltake Armor for example? This case doesn't seem to allow me to install one of those cards unless I saw off the little metal strip separating the slots.

Most of the ports fit through one of the slots, and the other slot is a "blank"
you're not supposed to attach it into 2 PCI ports , only one , but it will "catch " the place of 2 pci ports because of it's size
Maybe I should be more descriptive.....I'm want to get this MSI

If I take out 2 consecutive slots out, there is a skinny metal non-removable strip. I'm afraid that if I get this card it won't fit it unless I mod the case.

Take a look at this picture.

You can see that all the ports are on ONE slot, and the other is a vent. The metal strip will position it's self right between the ports, and the vent slots.
