They only come with a bracket that does not exactly fit into a standard slot. Maybe the other bracket is available, but I did not care much about it and simply went for bracketless (not much of a problem with a low profile card). BP> didn't mention anything about brackets or how it'd work in PCIe slots. For me it simply works. Only the bracket does not fit. cu Gerrit
