Hey all,
 
I know this is a shot in the dark and reading around I probably already know the answer-- but I figured I'd prod here for advice anyhow.
 
I have an EVGA 680i SLI LT motherboard that I recently RMA'ed. At some point I apparently tossed the IO shield and now I no longer have one. My assumption is that the IO shield's purpose is a mix between cosmetic and dust control, so its not really necessary. However, it would still bother me knowing that I dont have it. Trolled around eBay and didn't find anything that would fit well. Any thoughts on a way forward with this? Or should I just suck it up and deal with it? Thanks!

Current Build - Behemoth 2.0
4.6Ghz Sandy Bridge, 16gb of RAM, GTX 570 SLIed
6 Monitor setup, including 2560x1600's resolutions

    Most likely so, I did see that seller's backplates for sale but $25 is a little steep for a flimsy little piece of metal. If this turns out to be my only option I'll probably just opt out on it-- thanks for the help

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have also lost my I/O plate when moving the board to another case. Can EVGA help source me a replacement I/O shield as well?
     
    Cheers.
