Re: I'm going to build a PC
Incidentally, while I'm waiting for the rest of the stuff I thought I'd start checking out what I've got so far.

With the graphics card I got a strange metal dooblie thingy.

I've never even changed a PCI card before but it's obviously a backplate. But why?

The graphics card itself has a backplate (otherwise you wouldn't be able to plug your monitor into it ) and what's this little padded corner bit at the top? What's it supposed to pad against?

The manual doesn't say, of course

Any ideas?
