    I know RTK computer sells the 2nd Hard Drive bracket for GT780 Series, but is charging an arm and a leg for this. it's listed as 35.99 plus 11.00 shipping which equal to around 50 bucks just for the bracket. Any other reseller sells this bracket for a lower price?

    If not, i'm going to home depot and build my own.

    That is actually not uncommon for pricing on the bracket on those. When we have them in stock, they are generally in that area for the cost.

    Is it even really a bracket? I thought it was just a rubber stopper...if they are charging $50 for that, then yikes!

    That's a pretty impressive price. I don't usually see the manufacturers price them that low so go for it!

    MSI's shipping was kinda of high tho. I ordered 3 of them, so if anyone in the NYC area want to shared the shipping cost + the bracket we can meet up.

    I also want to thank Ken Lee@GenTechPC for the Rubber stop, which i bought yesturday before MSI got back to me, he was really fast in replying and helpful.
