its to block dust usually and if the case flow is front to back it wont pull in dust anyways. I dont use em anymore myself. especially with DFI and the CMOS jumper in the back. its way easier to use/flash without the i/o in the way.

Yeah, especially on DFI boards, it works well with the cmos reset as sneeky said. Hey KBD. Guess what I got today?

i got your PM, thank you very much for everything!

nice find, newtekie, didnt know they had an online store. but those prices

pbmaster · Nov 21, 2008, 02:13 AM

Wow, $6.50 for little piece of aluminum. You'd probably be better off crafting something out of tin foil lol

Holy heatsink , Batman !!

Me thinks I'll try and cut one out of some thin AL I have in the shop...

panchoman · Nov 21, 2008, 02:31 AM

good idea lol, just get some metal and cut it up to your liking, and boom like 50 cent i/o shield

69er · Nov 21, 2008, 02:37 AM

I think I'll make a paper template first , then once I get it right , transfer it to a stiff cardboard then trace that template onto the AL.

if yo got a machine shop it will be real easy. i know, i used to work in one.

69er · Nov 21, 2008, 02:51 AM

No machine shop. Woodworking shop. I have a drill press as well as some punches etc...

I'll probably attach the AL to a piece of scrap wood to serve as a backer to prevent distorting the thin metal.

On the other hand , if'n someone would step up to the plate and send me one ...

...it would save me a lot of hassle.
