Securing the video card on a de-cased motherboard?

tony.silveira:
i have yet to try them but i'm thinking of a pci riser/extension cable.  that way you could put your video card flat on a surface

phyrosis:
a $40 solution is not a solution... hot glue works, or just keep the case parts

tony.silveira:
never said it was a solution, it's an option.  but thanks for determining for others what is a solution or not for their machines

tony.silveira:
mmmm pixie dust.  the $40 link was just the first i found, no doubt you can get them cheaper :)

I think that's a good solution but instead of removing the plate:
- keep the metal connection plate on the card
- drill a hole at the bottom of it
- use a L shape metal bracket to fix the card plate to the cabinet wood.
