okay, so i have a ati radeon 2600 hd pro, and i installed it and slipped it into the pci slot, thing is, the computer i have doens't have a brace for the card, in other words, the card moves really easily, like if i accidently bump the Monitor plug attached to it, it comes unplugged, i was wondering if any of you have ideas of how to "brace" it or stabalize it, i'm open to anything, maybe theres even a manufactured piece. I have a emachine t5254 just fyi.

So it's fitting in fine but is just a bit loose and can be knocked easily out of place?
By bracket do you mean this part here:
Because there is a screw that goes there that secures it all and I don't exactly know what you mean by bracket.
Some cases although have a special screwless thing that goes there. I just took mine off because I found the screws to be easier.

I sort of see the problem in a small photo on CNet, but it's difficult to really tell what's wrong, or if the problems more specific to your machine... Perhaps the easiest solution would be simply getting a new case and swapping the parts out. Without really seeing your case, it's difficult to say if there's an easy way to modify it so the card would work. I considered mentioning drilling a hole so you could use a screw, but you really need to empty out the case to do this safely, and I'm not even sure if that'd fix the problem...
