Source for I/O shields

[TStep]

Has anyone found a good source for I/O shields that can be purchased specifically for an individual board? So far I've only found a guy on Ebay for about $8 a pop mostly Asus, a very limited selection at Directron and a few other web stores, and pretty much nothing else.

I suppose I could take old ATX plates and modify them with aluminum roof flashing, but I have neither the time nor inclination for sheet metal work. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone ever go through the manufacturer direct if they even offer them for sale?

TIA

I email the manufacturer, and sometimes they will ship it free. Just tell them you didn't get one with your board. Sometimes, no other info is necessary.

Thanks, I guess I'll go that route.
