Hey, I just got one of these GeForce 2 MX cards and I installed it. Is it fine if the silver plate is stretched on to the case, so the silver plate isn't like touching the card on top? I installed it on my old computer and it looks the same, and I also tried installing my old video card on to my new machine and it's like a perfect fit just like on my old computer.
This is my first time seeing something like this, so I'm unsure if it's normal. I haven't tested the elsa card out yet, because I haven't completed my new computer.
Also another question: Do I need to have a grille for a case fan?

Installing Elsa Gladiac MX
It should be fine, just make sure you get it in there tight and screw it in 
Grills are not necessary, but they can make exposed fans much safer, especially if you've got kids or animals poking their little paws everywhere they can.

Some cheaper cases don't allow the mobo to sit right and it's not unusual to have to bend (sometimes a LOT) the aluminum bracket on a card. The important thing is that it's sitting level in the slot conenctor and it's FULLY seated. Otherwise you'll get an intermittent connection causing all kinds of problems.
