I was going to order from them as well, but the price jumped to $2.41 or so when I put them into my cart so I didn't finish the order.
I see a lot of $2.99 shipped replacement brackets from Hong Kong / China on ebay for other similar NICs, but none listed as Mellanox compatible, does anyone know if any of these brackets are the right spacing, or have a Mellanox dual SFP+ card and an Intel Qlogic, or Emulex they can compare the port and screw spacing to?
I may order 1 of each that looks similar to try, but I won't know for 2-4 weeks which one works.
None of them look quite right since Mellanox has a bit of space between the 2 SFP+ ports and 4 indicator LEDs between them, but these look close:
Emulex Dual Port Full Height Bracket for LPE 12002 LPE 16002 HP 82E AJ763A
Standard Full Height Bracket for Intel X520-DA2 / X520-SR2 E10G42BTDA
I am tempted to just use these or something similar, but Mellanox makes a big deal in the manual about the RG shield gasket between the card and bracket:
Full Height Bracket for HP NC365T DELL H092P K828C HM9JY YT674 Quad Port NIC
