Hi guys, i need a half hight vid card for a scrawny ass case.

Do you mean "low Profile"? Sorry the "half height" has got me confused.

EDIT: Low Profile looks like this: Newegg.ca - Galaxy 96GFF6VIFCXX GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Supported Low Profile Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

looks good, but do these low pro cards come with an optional low pro bracket? It doesnt say in the descriptions.

i cant see one either tzetsin. I grabbed the manual for the gigabyte (because the manualls usually have an inventory of what comes with your card in the first few pages) and saw nothing of the sort.

i see this optional low profile bracket from newegg for a XFX branded card.

Newegg.com - XFX Low Profile Bracket Kit Model MA-BK01-LP1K - Video Card Accessories

but the graphics card list looks rather old.

Perhaps i'll just have to call ncix and ask about a specific card, i've heard of a couple that come with, but i have to KNOW they do before i order it. Thanks for the help so far guys, Jd, did that gigabyte card come with a low pro bracket?

All the ones I linked to claim to include it if you read down far enough.
