Motherboard Dust Covers

Hey. I'm currently doing research on a new build that I'm working on. The current motherboard I am interested in is the Asus Formula Z97, but I do have one question.  I do like the Tuf series idea of having dust covers for unused pci-e, I/O, ect.  Does anybody know where I can purchase them?  

 

I am looking for something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813995016

 

But without the "armor", as the formula comes with it's own "armor".

Why bother , i have a saber tooth with the Armour i think its a complete marketing scheme and would only have an affect if the board is literally sitting out in a dust field for like 50 years.

You can get them separate, not as a kit. Look for PCIe dust covers, ram dust covers, etc...

However hardly any dust enters those ports, as airflow on the case moves air from fan to fan, the amount of dust getting in those slots is very tiny.

I'm a neat freak lol.  I usually keep things dust free, but nothing is 100%. One less thing to clean lol.

You won't find that sort of cover for any other motherboard but the gryphon as it is for the gryphon only but these are used to block dust from going in the PCI slots.
