  • Low-profile expansion slot brackets

    From Nightfox to All on Thu Apr 28 13:23:50 2011
    I recently bought a used PC - It's small form factor PC and requires expansion cards with low-profile brackets (not the full-height brackets). It has 2 expansion slots and both are empty, but one of the expansion slot brackets is missing, so it's open.. I've looked online briefly to see if there are stores that sell low-profile brackets to fill the space (I know you can buy regular expansion slot brackets), but so far I haven't found quite what I'm looking for.. On eBay, I found a bunch of low-profile brackets, but they are ones
    that are made for certain expansion cards, so they have spaces in them for ports.. I just want a plain bracket that I can put in there so that the case isn't open right there.

    Until you find one, buy one with holes and put tape over them.
