I did have a lego tower supporting the GPU but as you can imagine, that would restrict air flow and isn't a pretty site. Anyway i can sort it out without having something ugly and/or noticeable?

Can we have a picture just because im nosey.

Erm, you can always use the GPU cables to hold it up. Though, it does have to hold a fair bit of tension as you can imagine.

But yeah, A picture would be fab so we can get creative.

The card sags really bad, almost looks like it's bending..

Someone here used a piece of fishing line to affix the sagging end to the top of the case, if you have something like that lying around you could give it a go, it isn't very noticeable either. Basically anything that would hold the card to the top of the case, e.g a case fan mesh/vent. I would go for something like that rather than support from underneath as it would be quite difficult to find something to support the card stably from under while minimizing airflow restriction.

Alright, sweet. I will look around the house for fishing wire or some black thread to support the card. Thanks for replying
