Hey Guys,

I finally bought an Elite 8300 SFF with i3-3220 CPU, 4 gigs of RAM and 500GB HDD for 103.20 GBP with shipping. Does the GPU have to be single slot or not. I know it has to be low profile, but 1050 or RX 460 GPUs in my country are dual slots and low profile or single slots and normal profile types. In the official maintenance and service guide I can see, there is a lot of space for the dual bracket. Does anyone tried this configuration (no, I don't want to buy a CMT or MT :D)?

Thanks in advance.

For those who wish to add iMessage, Continuity, Handoff, etc. to an HP Elite 8300, you can purchase a BCM94360CS (BCM94360CD also works but has 4 antennas and the backplate won't fit in SFF models) with PCI-e adaptor and plug it in to the PCI-e x1 slot.

Where can these LP PCI-e adapters be bought? I can only find them with a full height bracket, like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BCM94360CSA...196824?hash=item3f4fc42f18:g:CWcAAOSwlY1ZFPsg. Must be shipped to Europe.

This one seems to have the low profile bracket included along with an internal antenna for Bluetooth:
Broadcom BCM4360 Desktop PCIe wifi wireless WLAN Bluetooth BT 4.0 Card to Apple | eBay

Thank you, but I was actually looking for adapter only, since I already have a BCM943602CS. I found this, but no longer available: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/forApple-module-to-Mini-PCIe-Desktop-adapter-Card-for-wireless-BCM94360CD-BCM94360CSAX-BCM94360CS2-BCM94331CSAX-BCM94331CD/1543222_32273097180.html.

I'll probably buy the one I linked to first and cut off the top.
 
Maybe you can try messaging the seller to see if they have any low profile brackets available. The adaptors that I've purchased all included the low profile bracket even though it may not have been specifically stated in the listing.
 
speaking of BCM94360CD, I got mine today, after installing wifi worked oob. However, Bluetooth isn't, it does not show up in System Preferences. Air drop showed up in my Finder sidebar. How do I activate Bluetooth?
 
Is the 4 pin BT connector on the right USB 2.0 header ?
