Where can you purchase I/O replacement plates for motherboards?

I'd have to say your best off going for the original m/b maker. Unless it follows one of the 2 generic ones, i.e. with the sound vertical or otherwise. And if your mobo is missing one of the serial ports or something, you might have a blank hole.

I just make my own from old pop tart boxes, and spray 'em with chrome paint. 😱
 
Abit is the only mobo maker that sells them separately. You might look for an abit model that's similar to yours.

You can buy I/O shields from ATXshields.com.

Centrix International also sells them (look at the bottom of the "motherboards" page, their in a section called "I/O Shields"). They're mostly for Intel boards but look at the pictures of the various layouts, a lot of them will fit other boards as well.

I've also heard that Directron carries them but haven't actually looked.
 
I recently bought a refurbished 8RDA from newegg and it shipped without an I/O plate. I e-mailed EPoX, explained my situation and asked if I could buy a replacement plate directly from them. They sent me one for free the next day.
