I can't justify purchasing a tower case for my A4000 and it's taking up to much space laying on my desk 'horizontally'.  So I decided to try placing on its side, 'vertivcally'.  Unfortunately this causes my GVP 4060 card to creep out of the processor slot.  Which means no boot.

I only have one spacer for the card now.  They're a bit longer than 'standard' AT/ATX spacers.  So I'm hoping a fellow A4000 owner will know where I can get some.

BTW, if anyone has any other suggestions, they'd be welcome.

Thanks everyone for all the advice.  I found everything I need at http://www.mouser.com.  If anybody else is looking to get such spacers (in the states anyway), you'll want to look at page 729 of their PDF catalog.

BTW Sharmon, that's one ingenius solution.  If it weren't for the fact that I don't have enough hex nuts (I have ~5 spares), I wouldn't bother ordering the spacers from Mouser...  I even have some LocTite epoxy Castellan suggests using.
