Spring PCI Lock

Bane · 11-August-04, 05:34 AM

OK,, this may be in the wrong forum section, so moderators, feel free to move it lol.

What i'm looking for is something on the order of a spring clip for the PCI slots. I know that the Thermaltake Tsunami Dream cases have this. Instead of using screws to lock in your pci cards, you pull back a little lever, put the card in, and lock it in place with the spring retention.

What happened was, after cleaning my radeon 9700 pro a million times in hope that the heating problem would go away, I ended up stripping the AGP screw slot

. Is there something like this out there for sale? If not, is there a way that I should go about fixing this short of buying a new case?
