    I trying to make about 30 of these Radeon 9250 cards fit into low profile workstations (for the record, I didn't purchase them!). The PCB itself fits, it's just the backplate that is causing problems.

    So, I'm in need of about 30 low profile vga backplates and 30 low profile dvi backplates. I've been googling for a while now and haven't found anything. Anyone know of somewhere in the UK that sells them?

    Try a store which builds machines, when I used to work in one some graphics cards used to come with a secondary low profile backplate in the box.

    Bit poor that.

    The only thing I can think of is if you get hold of some standard ones with the VGA cutout then cut them down.

    For the VGA though, it you extend the ribbon cable normally the VGA port can fit into an ATX case back.
