White PCIE Bracket

[AngryPig]

Does anyone know where I can buy a white PCIE bracket that I can use to replace the silver one on my PCIE card? Can only find silver replacements.

 

It's for a full size case and no external ports so just a solid white bracket.

Impossible to help if we don't know what PCIe card it is. You'd need to find one with the correct mounting points

 

I doubt you'll be able to find one for sale though. You'd be much better off just painting yours, or buying a silver replacement and painting that.

 

EDIT: Just realised you said it's sold. Still need to know the mounting holes.

Or do you mean the bracket that goes on the expansion card?

Is this for an empty slot, or an actual expansion card? 
 

Either way tho, you can always just paint them yourself. If it is a PCIe bracket on a card, they come off usually with just a few screws. Paint it, then put it back on

An expansion card. Was hoping to screw it off and swap it

There is almost no chance someone makes a different color bracket for a specific card… your best bet is to paint it yourself. And since you likely will never get the perfect shade of white, maybe paint it black, or some accent color.

It's an LSI HBA and I didn't know if there was standard mount holes. I have swapped them before on other products but always shipped in the box so didn't know if it was standard or not

There's slight variations for spacing and location of mounting points, even within the LSI/Broadcom HBAs I believe. You have basically no chance of finding a white PCI bracket for it, it's just not something people using HBAs tend to care about enough for someone to make them.

 

I'd stand by just painting the bracket.

And again, since perfect color matching is likely not possible, I would paint all of the brackets a color that isn’t the same as the case. So if you have a white case, maybe determine an accent color like green or red that you can start using, and paint ALL of the brackets that color, and potentially a few other bits as well to tie it all together. 
 

When you paint it, make sure to scuff up the brackets with sand paper, use an etching primer, and then spray your paint and clear coats - I’d watch some YouTube videos to get a better idea one how to do this well if it’s your first time.
