I have a full length PCI card (3ware Escalade 7506-12) and its so long that the far end has no physical support and is flexing which worries me. Is there some kind of brace or bracket that I can install in my computer case (CM Stacker 810) that will support the far end of the card? Thanks.

Have you looked on the CM site to see what accys are available? Generally if the end supports are not in the case to begin with, then there aren't any but you never know. And places like http://www.CyberGuys.com may have those fingers (called Cardkeeper) that are designed to hold cards in the slots during shipping, etc. Could give some support, but not at the end of the card. I've not seen generic card end supports as they need to be mounted and no way to tell what any given case has in the way of surfaces for mounting. Otherise, you'll just have to rig something maybe you could rig one of those cardkeepers to work at the far end.
