[Novalug] Re: [Ma-linux] Seeking guidance remounting PCI bracket

[Nicholas Brenckle]

If the card is in fact short enough, then the bracket can simply be cut and
the 90 degree angle re-bent at the correct location to make it a "low
profile" card. Or am I misunderstanding?  Any case or card modding I have to
do I usually use a dremel too.
