Where to buy MSI's Graphics card bolster in EU?

[Shou Miko]

I recently started to notice some slacking of my MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X in my Phanteks Eclipse P400 case and wondering where I could buy MSI's Graphics Card Bolster in the EU because every place I can find it are outside EU and too ridiculously pricing to import.

Talking about his bar:

If anyone knows it would be nice or if I can find smth else that show off less but still keeps my gfx holding up

get some 2x2 lego bricks and build them into a little tower and prop them up underneath the GPU

Haha no thank you, but a good idea

Got a cousin that was looking for a GPU brace or stand in EU.. in the end i had to mail him one; none to be found.

If you do manage to find one, please come and back and tell us where you got it from
Last but not least, in case you go the international way; be careful with what you buy, the US GPU braces won't fit in EU-made cases (ie Fractal) and vice versa.
edit: unless that is you're up for some drilling.

That's one of the weirdest things I've heard. We all buy parts and cases made in other continents and use them. Are you sure about that?

Should fit anywhere (quote from link provided in the OP):

Heavy gaming will never become a burden on your rig. The Bolster graphics card support features a gas spring which vertically locks in position at the top and bottom of your case. Anti-shock Rubber Bases on both ends absorb the pressure from the gas spring and prevent any damage to your case.

I already looked problem is it's Israel not a part of the EU and with a price tag of about 49USD I can't import it unless I want to pay double that in taxes and most ebay users think it's a pain in the *** to change around the item and shipping price and put it on a receipt.

..... most ebay users think it's a pain in the *** to change around the item and shipping price and put it on a receipt.

Most items I purchase that come from China seem to have very low values written on them, they are usually marked as "gift" too
Edit, found a similar item on AliExpress with free shipping to The Netherlands.

The thing is that retail prices are a lot extra as well, especially if we are talking about equipment that isn't mainstream. EU gets screwed on taxes compared to the US, but makes up for it in other ways

You could try making one ,i use a cut down jostick with black cable sleeve over it ,cant really be seen ,its gheto ,i did plan making one but haven't done so yet.
It works so well i have used it a year now lol.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Nothing wrong with using a Ghetto Mod for this. Use a barbie doll not like anyone cares, the point is to make anything work while making it look cool, freaky, or even silly as hell. Own it!

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I use Lego but these can look good if you get the bends right

I just use a zip tie with my 1080ti, connected to the cooler on the right side (the GPU has many holes you can shove a zip tie) and to the case, ZERO saging.
Been doing like this with all my cards

I want it to look good and would be nice with a stealth solution if possible.

 

[RejZoR]

If you have a mesh top of the case and you're not using fans, buy some very thin steel wire rope and some couplings to create loops or hooks and just hook it up on top and hook it up on the power connectors on the side. It's how I'd do it. Super modular and would look nicer, kinda industrial opposed to this funny looking crotch lol.

Ziptie is stealth, its close to the motherboard not the front.

if you want to waste money here:

Option 1 (cheapest shipping, only 23nis, and transparent, so stealth)
Option 2
Option 3

would be nice with a stealth solution if possible.

- monofilament fishing line from the top (hard to see)
- A piece of 1/2" (clear or black) schedule 40 PVC pipe up from the bottom (wouldn't be noticed)

I'd rather pick practical over stealth and you can still make it look good with a little thought and some trial and error. if you want to go with something like mono-filament line, might as well consider EL wire for added internal lighting.

If one way doesnt appeal to you after you apply it, you can change it.

Scythe used to have something like that (steel cable/string, unfortunately it has been discontinued), called the Ninja Wire : http://www.scythe-eu.com/en/products/pc-accessory/ninja-wire.html
