Full Tower Video Card Brackets...?

I have spent an hour trying to find some of these things and it's as if they don't exist. I basically need about 5 Full Tower Video Card Brackets. I need them to have a VGA & DVI. I can only find Low profile brackets. The only full tower bracket I could find has 2 DVI instead of a VGA & DVI. This will work if it's the only solution and so far it is the only thing I can find. the VGA will just look ghetto... which is fine with me...

Basically I have about 5 M-ATX motherboards that need new cases. The old cases are mini towers and these motherboards have low profile video cards. I need to move the computers to a full or mid tower case because the power supply is dead and instead of spending 50 dollars on a new power supply, I wanted to spend 15 to 25 on a case since we already have extra power supplies in storage.

The extra power supplies we have will not fit in the mini tower cases which is why I was going to get a mid tower case to put them in.

Does anyone have a link to some freaking brackets? I swear they don't make them....
 
So you have the video cards that are low profile and you want to switch the bracket for a full height? That is going to change from one model to another model for it to fit, so I don't think anyone but the manufacturer would make them. If they don't make them though, you will probably have to make them yourself or have someone make them for you. It isn't really a generic item per se.
 
Well the thing about is, the damn video cards came with the full tower bracket installed when we bought them. They also came with the low profile bracket and since we were working with low profile cases when we ordered the cards, we switched them to the low profile bracket. Problem is we seem to have lost the full tower bracket for the video cards which is the part I need. I guess I will have to contact Galaxy and see what they have to offer.

Thanks for the reply!
 
What a freaking joke! I called Galaxy and NewEgg and they just don't sell them. I think it is pretty stupid because they sell the low profile brackets... Why can't they sell the Full Tower brackets too?

I guess it's partly my fault for not keeping track of the full tower brackets that came with the damn card. Oh well ghetto rigging is what I have to do.
 
A little time with a file, drill, and a regular PCI bracket will get you what you need. Not perfect but will be screwed on by the DVI screws at least.
