Ok, my brother-in-law got this case for the build I am doing for him, but it comes with a little black piece that sounds like it is supposed to help hold the long pci-e cards because of the weight. He got a GTX260 card that is insanely heavy and it seems like this piece would help hold it up - but how the hell do you use it? There are 2 sets of 2 screw holes in the motherboard tray in the case, but the top one makes the card tilt and the bottom one is way too low for the first pci-e slot on a motherboard (think the absolute last slot on the case).
The black piece at the bottom is the one I am talking about

How the hell do I use this? I didnt get one of these in my 1200 case and it seems they should have included more than 1 for multi-video card setups..??

I did not get one of these with the 900 case I used for my wifes uncles build either.

That piece attaches to the drive cage and supports the end of the card. Instructions on the installation of that piece are in the cases manual. If you dont have the manual try Antecs site and see if you can download the manual and if not let me know and I'll post the section of the manual for the card end support piece.
