Sourcing a replacement IO Shield?

[CheeseburgerChad]

Hello, so I recently put together a budget build for a friend using parts we found on eBay/Craigslist. It actually turned out pretty well, total cost 200 USD for an i5-2500k and gtx 960 with 8gb ram. Anyway, the issue we encountered is that the motherboard we got didn't come with an IO shield. It is a BioStar H61MLB. Anyone know where I can find a replacement IO shield? I've tried searching eBay and the web but can't seem to find anything. Thanks!

Ebay "blank I/O shield"

contact biostar and see if you get lucky.  its an older motherboard, so you're probably out of luck. unless you buy a blank

Just did this, lots of replacements for popular boards but nothing for mine specifically. Also nothing universal.

the I/O sheild is pretty basic , just get one from a similar model board so long as that board is pretty close

this one is close enough , just cut a little extra spot for where the monitor outputs are with a regular pair of scissors

also , i just typed "biostar I/O" into ebay and scrolled through till I saw somthing similar so you can go ahead and look longer if you want to see if anything is closer than that.

That price is atrocious.

 

I/O shields are worth no more than $5 imo. For $20, I'd go without it.

You would cut your own I/O shield. That or just gluing some paper clips or metal strips, to the block and case, to ground the individual I/O blocks.
