i have a nmediapc 1080p htpc case.
i recently installed a xfx black 290 video card that is a little too high.
i love my setup, the video card runs very well. i have no more heat issues
that i had with the xfx 265 ghost.
here is my pic

i have a two issues i need help with....

1- i would like to install a backplate on the video card to protect it from a short
circuit. ive seen some nice ones from EK but it states that i can only work with
a water cooler block ?? are there any back plates i could use?????

2- the power wires of the video card are just sticking out. ive been looking for
some adapters but i cant find any. any suggestions on what to do???
ive been looking at some BULLET plugs , but i would like to know a better way.
