BitFenix Introduces the Alchemy 3.0 ARGB GPU Bracket
BitFenix today announced an accessory for your graphics cards' safety, whilst adding some bling to your build. The Alchemy 3.0 ARGB GPU Bracket is little more than a support for your graphics card which installs in your PC case and provides physical support to prevent sagging and other problems that may arise from deploying a graphics card with a high-performance, heavyweight custom cooling solution (it literally supports graphics cards with weights going up to 7.5 Kg and 80-120 cm long).
The Alchemy 3.0 ARGB GPU Bracket features ARGB lighting which users can control and customize to their liking, and the 18 available mounting holes ensure maximum compatibility regardless of your graphics card. It also comes with three different extension holders, sizing up at 45 mm, 80 mm and 120 mm. The GPU bracket will take up three free PCI slots on your build, though, so keep that in mind if you're planning on using this.

mind blown
I could go for a nice bracket.gotta look around.

Seriously why 99% of cases follow the current design is beyond me?
Reverse(inverted)-ATX solves 99.9% of sagging* issues (even with very heavy cooper liquid cooled blocks). The cooler weight rest on PCB below it. PCB acts as an anchor. Just like 90 degree flipped motherboards. Here - no sag whatsoever for all eternity. Oh and let's not forget about horizontal motherboard trays of course.
* - Not if you have card like this for example
I use these (comes in black also):

Below is my solution to the sag introduced by using a morpheus ii (massive cooler that fits 2 120mm fans) to cool my 580, sure it doesn't have RGB but it actually works and isnt a glaring advertisement.
Here's the exact same thing on Aliexpress: www.aliexpress.com/item/32853288878.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.1967e3e9h0S2if&algo_pvid=e51f8a87-1b07-4e4f-9614-502bcf86ffad&algo_expid=e51f8a87-1b07-4e4f-9614-502bcf86ffad-1&btsid=a079e6cd-9fbf-4d06-83bf-fcc4345bc1ba&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5,searchweb201603_53
As for a bracket, I like this more classy, simple one: www.shorturl.at/iowMW
Basically if you have any other PCIe device (soundcard, USB card etc) this is a no go.
There are plenty of options that don't take up any slots and will do the same job - but you don't get disco lights with them.
I guess this will appeal to some.
EKWB puts a big glowing EK logo on a angle with their GPU blocks, so in any normal case mount, you advertise for them constantly.
