Help Please. 8500 Part Needed.
Hi all,
When I was going to install a PCI card in my 8500 I shattered the plastic bracket that flips up and holds the processor and PCI cards in place (don't know my own strength I guess) . Does anybody know where I could find a replacement for this.
If so please email me directly at bjmorris@gocohens.com
Thanks,
Brad

You don't have to have it. I've broken/lost many in 85-9600s. They all managed to stay running. Even managed to break a couple of the fan brackets too. Still no probs. It may not have been your fault. I've noticed that the plastic on older Macs gets brittle and snaps easily.
