I'm working on a project that will at some point require the use of a PCI Ethernet bracket. I can't for the life of me find one while searching google. I came across tuns of links to blank pci plates but, nothing for Ethernet. I don't have an old network card that I could pull one off of either.. Does anyone know where I can get one? I would prefer to purchase from a US store because I'm impatient while waiting for a shipment from China.

Do you need just one, or do you need to be able to get lots of them?

I don't know of any personally, but it's probably best to just buy an old network card with one on. I just had a quick look and you seem to be able to get them from the US for under $10 on eBay.

If you needed more, you could probably get somewhere with a CNC machine to cut them out of sheet metal for you, then you'd just have to bend the top over yourself.

@gordon I will take a trip to goodwill to see if they have any cheap second hand nic cards. If not I'll end up having to purchase a cheap nic card from ebay or some other store.
