DIY case corners?

i am looking for these things that are used for putting together your own case.
they are cubed acrylic corner pieces with threads tapped on each side. don't know what they are called or where to find them...any one have any suggestions?

also where is the best place to find agp/pci riser cards for a reasonable amount? everything i seem to find is way overpriced...and why doesn't the egg sell them to make it easy for me?

last thing...what is currently the best half-hieght or low-profile agp8x video card around? i know there has got to be something better than the 9250 or fx5200.

p.s. if anybody is wondering, i am building my own case for a super quiet passively cooled bedroom htpc using leftover hardware. 1.2ghz celey, 256mb pc133, 20gb, dvd-rom, 350w psu...videocard = undecided...

    eBay. I got my AGP/PCI 2U riser from this guy for a little less than $20 which is the best you're going to do. He ships promptly and packs well.

    Last time I checked the fastest low profile graphics card is a GeForce FX 5500 on the Egg somewhere. I think it was a PNY but they might not sell them anymore.

    ebay is the best...that guy looks like he's got some good stuff...i should shop there more often, but i just tend to skip it for some reason...

    found a 5500 low profile and a 5700le low profile but they are pci only...

    found a mobility radeon 9600 low profile, agp8x, 128mb, 128bit, 4 pipelines for $54 that i am seriously thinking about...

    might just go for a riser card so i can use some old full height card that i already have...it'll be cheaper than $50...but i like the passive cooler/low power on the MR9600, plus it's cool that it's a mobile chip on an agp card.

    I own a BFG Tech Fx 5500 that's 8x/4x (look at my sig), It runs pretty nicely, i got it from Fry's, but they dont sell that anymore, but they do have a 3D Fuzion card for a 100 dollars here . I think that 3D fusion is part of BFG Tech, but I might be mistaken, and i dont know if it has their lifetime warrenty on it. And you might be able to find a better price if you google it.
