The most annoying thing

Is not getting an IO shield with your motherboard.

I got that Asus thing the other day and noticed it had no IO shield. I guess the buggers didn't remember to pull it from the chassis from their demo unit. Pilchards. So I had to make one. I do have one on order from the USA (why do Asus sell them to yanks but not us? gits !) but until then here is one I made earlier.

That looks better!

But I don't know about stability.

Total pet hate of mine that. Yeah, doesn't do any damage but looks gash and you end up with even more dust in there.

I want the real one though. It's ordered now, just waiting for it to arrive. No rush because I have plans to build one hella good PC from both PCs and use the Noctua on it, which I dont have yet

How much did a new IO shield cost and where did you order it from?
