Gigabyte I/O Shield
Any idea where to get an I/O shield for a gigabyte EP35C MOBO?
I just purchased one Open Box from newegg. saved quite a bit, but of course, no I/O shield (the thing to cover the input sockets in the back). I looked around the interweb, but no luck, and I'm wondering if anyone here might have some ideas (or even an extra laying around...). Thanks.

im pretty sure nobody will have one, im also pretty sure that, unless you have a reason of your own, the I/O shield is not really necessary. if you want you could put up some plastic, foil, anything.

I would advise against putting something conductive and as thin as tinfoil near your motherboard without knowing exactly what you are doing, or not having a care in the world about your PC. Putting something that is ever remotely conductive near your motherboard is never a good idea if it isn't designed to be there.

Buy a retail motherboard, get the shield and RMA.
