Try contacting Asus directly. I know abit is good about replacing missing items, and if they don't have them, they usually know somebody who sells them. It may take a while to get a response back though.
Woooot, I ordered their last Deluxe in the early hours of the 25th (waking up about four hours later for work was fun) and grabbed a 512MB stick of Corsair PC3200 from GoogleGear. I hope it comes with a case plate or else I'll just have to remove mine and have a gaping hole in the back =/ .
My bank account is begging for mercy after this and a video card and power supply I got earlier this week, and one of those refurbished 21" Hitachis. If I don't stop reading this forum, I'll be living out of my car

ASUS Refurbs come from ASUS in a nice plain white box with only the Motherboard. I got out my trusty dremel tools and fab'ed up a new backplate. Turned out better than I had expected.
In one of these ASUS refurb threads, it was mentioned that you can buy the motherboard accessories from ASUS bu tyou have to call them and talk on the phone (there isn't an ASUS 'store'). E-bay'ers also have just the back plate for $6-8 shipped. If mine tests out ok, I'll call ASUS for the rest of the stuff. Actually should have purchased the new retail but it's too much to send back and repurchase.

Damn, it didn't come with anything. And I have no idea how I'll connect my gamepad, other than buying a ghetto sound card and disabling all but its gameport. Asus put their gameport header way out on the right side of the board, so an old VIA riser card doesn't have a cable long enough to reach it. Maybe one of these crazy sales at OfficeMax will get me dirt cheap sound card
On another note - I ordered RAM from a different place (GoogleGear) and both parts were due tomorrow but this motherboard came a day early. It's nice when stuff is delivered early but not so nice when it can't be put to use until its original date =/.
