First of all I want to comment on how useless Dell Technical support is.
After countless hours on the phone, promises to send the right parts (everything I need to install the part) they have been absolutely no help what so ever.
I can't imagine a larger group of incompetent tech support people anywhere.
Their hardware is great. Tech support, pathetic.

We are modifying one of our workstations for dual Quadro cards and need the parts highlighted in the image here.
If you can help, just reply to the thread or PM me
Thanks,
David

If Dell isn't able to help you, have you hit up eBay?

The blue piece looks simply like a plastic support, right? If you thought you really need it, couldn't you just jerry-rig one out of a small piece of wood or even styrofoam? Looks like it has a notch for the longer card, and then probably screws into the case someplace. I can't imagine it taking more than 1/2 hr to put together.

Unfortunately I really don't know what is special about the rear panel. The opening for the videocards is to the left, so it looks like the arrow is pointing to some square openings.

It's probably not the answers you are looking for, but a wooden bracket should work if you can't get it from Dell.
