    Good stuff. Always wondered what my Scythe Infinity was doing to my poor motherboard.

    Can see this working for single Gfx only.

    Thing is though, if you support the bottom card it shouldn't be hard to stuff something between it and the higher up cards to make some sort of a column.

    The graphics cards should come builtin with an extendable leg in the plastic body.

    That's if the problem really is that big a deal.

    Re: News - PowerColor's PowerJack provides support for huge graphics cards

    Has anyone ever come across a graphics card breaking off the motherboard, even when moving around?
    CPU coolers these days can be massive though. Even though the rated spec weight-wise may not be exceeded in normal use, when moving and bumping you could easily exceed it and damage the motherboard.

    Clever item - quite nice to see a PC item that's not too technical, TBH.

    Hmm, I need one that sticks in place for an inverted case (LIAN LI V1000+II)... does the Jack adhere?
