Custom PCI bracket with support, for custom PCB?
- by newbiez
I am considering to put a custom PCB card that I made, into my computer.
It won't go on any PCI connector, it plugs in on a USB connector on the motherboard, via a ribbon cable.
I need thou to plug a device to it; which means that either I leave the PCB outside the case, hanging by the ribbon (bad idea), or I could put it in a PCI slot, using a bracket.
The issue is that the brackets that I have, do not have tabs, so I have no way to screw the PCB on them. I was hoping to find something that would allow me to put the PCB on it, and then just fit it in the PCI bracket opening, like this:

This one won't fit the bill since the holes are too close apart, compared to the one that I have already on the PCB (and can't make more holes).
Do you know if there is a place where they make universal PCI bracket mounting systems for custom PCB? I just need one, so can't even order a custom one (they ask me 120 dollars for one).
Thanks in advance!
