How to secure video card to side mounted motherboard
Thenasty:
what I did was... I screwed my mobo in a sheet of wood (not the cabinet wall) with those plastic legs, then I screwed (glued) another piece of wood right where the video card will be seated and then I screwed a hole on the bottom of video card (some already have a hole) and I screwed it to the piece of wood underneath. Hope you got the pic.

Just use a small blob of hot glue on the ends where the board meets the slot. It's incredibly tough stuff, non-conductive, and if you ever need to swap out just give it a quick swipe with a stanley blade.

after reading this thread the other day, and moving my cabinet...my agp card popped out of the slot for the first time. i used standard little brass threaded motherboard stands that come with just about all PC cases. i drilled some holes in the wood, threaded in those inserts, and then screwed the motherboard in just like it was in a pc case. this didn't put it up high enough to allow the video card to go the entire way into the slot, so i had to bend the bottom part of the video card bracket to make it fit, so i just bent it at 90 degrees and drilled a hole in it. then i installed another motherboard stand and screws the card to it...i is rock solid now...i'll take pics later if anyone needs them.
