I'm working on a project that will at some point require the use of a PCI Ethernet bracket. I can't for the life of me find one while searching google. I came across tuns of links to blank pci plates but, nothing for Ethernet. I don't have an old network card that I could pull one off of either.. Does anyone know where I can get one? I would prefer to purchase from a US store because I'm impatient while waiting for a shipment from China.

Do you need just one, or do you need to be able to get lots of them?

I don't know of any personally, but it's probably best to just buy an old network card with one on. I just had a quick look and you seem to be able to get them from the US for under $10 on eBay.

If you needed more, you could probably get somewhere with a CNC machine to cut them out of sheet metal for you, then you'd just have to bend the top over yourself.

@Gordon I will take a trip to goodwill to see if they have any cheap second hand nic cards. If not I'll end up having to purchase a cheap nic card from ebay or some other store.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
