    I recently bought a used PC - It's small form factor PC and requires expan cards with low-profile brackets (not the full-height brackets). It has expansion slots and both are empty, but one of the expansion slot brackets missing, so it's open.. I've looked online briefly to see if there are st that sell low-profile brackets to fill the space (I know you can buy regul expansion slot brackets), but so far I haven't found quite what I'm lookin for.. On eBay, I found a bunch of low-profile brackets, but they are one that are made for certain expansion cards, so they have spaces in them fo ports.. I just want a plain bracket that I can put in there so that the ca isn't open right there

    Just leave the top off and put full height cards in it. (;
