Where do you get SFF brackets for NICs?

Basically, I bought a low-height NIC for a computer I'm tooling up, but it only came with a full-height bracket attached. The card itself is maybe 1U height, and clearly the bracket is meant to come off. It looks like a thousand other NIC brackets I've seen over the years. I seem to remember having a spare 2U bracket at some point that looked right, but damned if I can find it.

Anyway, I don't want to go buy another whole NIC just to cannibalize the bracket off of it if I can help it. I figure someone HAS to sell brackets separately, but (again) damned if I can find them. I figure someone here might know?

The card is a Rosewill Gigabit from Newegg, if it matters.

Since the placement of the Ethernet port varies on different NICs, the best option is to purchase a NIC that includes the low profile bracket as part of the package, like this one I picked out randomly since you mentioned Rosewill..

I've lined it up with about seven other Ethernet cards I've got lying around the house. 5 of them have the exact same placement on the port.

I'm sure there's some variation, but this seems to be the most common placement available.

This catalog has the dimensions of several brackets, including what I think you want low profile RJ45.

Not sure about costs, but if the opening measurements line up with your cards rj45 port you can take the part # and check it on their website or ring them.

Good luck.
Hope it helps.
