Low profile bracket for graphic card

Kosai

Mods... do lock, move or delete this thread if it's in the wrong section.....

Are there any shops in Lowyat Plaza or Imbi Plaza that sells low profile brackets for graphic cards?
(Well I couldn't fit my old-unused XFX 8400GS into my bro's Dell Dimension C521 without it....... )

Dell Dimension C521 ? thats some latest high end pc. should be no problem to insert XFX 8400GS card.

may i know what motherboard are used on your brother's pc?

your card are PCI-Express slot. your bro's pc's motherboard should hav the same socket.
sometime it just the size giv some probLem that u hav to remove the processor first becoz its blocking the installation process.

is it this one ? http://www.hardware.info/en-US/n ... _consumer_desktops/

if yes, maybe the casing is too small and the card is too big.

Kosai

Yes, and I'm sure it's the casing size that restricts me from installing the card....

u dont need low profile graphic cards for that.

just go and look for the correct size of graphic card.

klik here : http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/priceguide/
and download price list (low yat shop). then u can google for the specs and even look for the picture on the net first before u go and buy.

  insted of buying another graphic card for the right size, and hav that XFX un-used,  maybe u can get new ATX casing that is bigger to fix the problem. i know dell casing is nice but it is not practical for u right?

u better buy a new casing for that... Dell Dimension C521 casing is too small...

bzzts

afraid that'll void the warranty...
Kosai need to check DELL warranty agreement before buy new casing.

Buy a new casing? I would want to but afraid it won't fit Dell's mobo inside...
Still I think his PC's warranty have expired since he bought it on 2006..

btw.... pic of what I'm looking for :

too bad. aku pun baru prasan mainboard dlm casing tu pelik sikit.




tak pasti kalo beli casing baru pun maybe tak muat.

i dunno how to suggest unless i see the cpu myself.

regarding the item u looking for, try lookup at lowyat forum.
here : http://forum.lowyat.net/DisplayCards&Monitors

u may ask there, open new thread with WTB (want to buy) tag.
or maybe u just browse around first coz maybe its already there.
