the manufacturer is a good place to start,ebay may have some also but i find them to costly and the site used a a full retail scrap yard!

I finally got some out of Asus for a couple of "refurbs" I got from Newegg. It took nearly a month of repeated calls and emails to get them shipped - but I can't complain about the price. Free! So I second the idea of trying to "social engineer" some out of the mfr's. If that fails, you can get them for quite a few different models on ebay for around $8. each..

It's not a new term. It's one way hackers get passwords and other info so they can hack into systems - find some security-challenged secretary or other functionary and schmooze them out of it...
. Much more civil than BS though, isn't it? ;) . You can probably even find a definition for it on Wikipedia or dictionary.com. Yup, here's the Link to the Wiki def.

I would ask the manufacturers first and see if they will give you one. But otherwise the only site I have found so far that sells a decent variety is here:

They are $9 each which is kind of expensive, but at least this place has a variety. Although they are not made for specific brands of boards.
