Hi. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.


My MSI GT 730 2GB will not fit in my PC. It's a Dell Optiplex 960 mini-tower.

When I put it in two slots (one for vga, hdmi, dvi, other for ventilation) it is too far away to fit into the PCI-E slot. If I fit it into the PCI-E slot, It'll have only one part of it for 1 slot, where the ventilation part is off to the side. It doesn't fit like this either, it's crooked because there's a little black cylinder blocking the metal. (Picture shown here: http://imgur.com/ucGAxQf )

I have no idea how to get it to fit. Any help would be appreciated! (And before you ask, no, I can't give pictures.)

You can remove the bracket and cut it in half vertically to remove the vent side. Tin snips work well for this. Just remove the 4 nuts and maybe a screw on the back. Cut,then bolt it back on. Your computer is a BTX and nobody makes anything to fit it. This is normal for BTX upgrading. In ATX there is always a slot there for the vent. In BTX there is no slot, but a vent and good air flow already there. You can test fit with the bracket off to be sure there is nothing else hitting.
