Graphics cards with half height brackets?

[theredguy]

Hi does anyone know of any pci-e cards that are made with half height brackets attached as the passive X300 thats in my media centre is getting a little hot now and i have no room in the case to put a fan in.

Cheers.

Ful height are easy to mod.

Cut to length bend over and drill a hole,

Does the op possibly mean the actual card needs to be half height?

If so then there is a 8600GT in half height form. How much it is and where it is available to however I don't know.

Ive owned cards that are half height with full height bracket and like easy said you just need to do a bit of cut and chop, no point paying more for a 'special' card

Just stick a fan on the passive I would

Well I've managed to find a 128mb Radeon X1300 in the Dell business store with a half height bracket, just how much better would it be over the X300 guy's.

I got a half height X1600 PRO HDMI. I used to have the X1300 in a Dell C521 but replaced it with this X1600
Works well.

Used to be sold here but now not in stock.

I know you state you have no space, but you could look at maybe putting a 60mm fan on a home-made bracket either alongside or on top of the card, the 60mm's are a lot thinner in profile than 80mm fans.

a little research has found the sapphire card from anywhere from 57 to just over 100 pound
