Thug541 · 05-30-2006, 11:47 PM

My friend has a mini dell tower that has the weird size cards in teh back. My question is, he is looking to use a webcam and would perfer usb2.0 unfrotunatly he doesn't have it. SO I want to know if anyone makes a usb2.0 card that connects to the PCI slots of mini towers? Thanks.

Does the mini-tower require a low profile card? if so, there might be a problem finding one...

If you can't find a low profile back one you could go for a drive bay port, although that would be a bit more inconvienient.
