Title: Holding video card in cab so it does not move?
Post by: Necrosaro420 on August 25, 2013, 04:34:02 am

How would you guys suggest mounting a video card in a mame cab?  I am building a bartop cab, and I have the motherboard the bottom.  I do not have it in a case, so obviously when I put the video card in, it kinda just chills and hangs out with just the slot itself holding it up.  Anyone have any suggestions how to mount it somehow so it does not move or anything?  Thanks

Something like this would be a good way of going about it

Then mount the card flat onto the side of the cabinet or something with screws through the holes in the PCB

You you have a BIC pen laying around?  I used this method and it worked great!
