Hi, I purchased a used A2000 motherboard and only received a brief I/O bracket. I have a tower PC, specifically an HP EliteDesk 800 G2. Can you suggest a safe and practical solution to use this card without buying an additional $20 I/O bracket?

You might purchase a converter that increases the compact version to full size. However, for a very budget-friendly option, look for chopsticks or skewers and repurpose them as makeshift 'long screws'

Thanks, but this wouldn't work without modifying the OEM case, as the folded over metal bumps into the case's pcie slot divider bars. Currently I am using it without any shield for this reason, but this is a temporary solution as I had to fix it in place with a toilet paper carton roll to prevent GPU sag from braking the pci-e slot on the motherboard. So it's a temporary solution...
