With what boards does this connector come?

Some Asus board should come with this SATA intern to extern bracket. I know it's Asus since it's written on it :) I'd like to know which.

Both intern and extern are standard SATA connectors (no eSATA). If any other brands have similar things I'd love to know as well. Gigabyte for example has them though these are useless to me as the have a female connector internal. The extra power connector is irrelevant, I won't be using that.

I am also aware of them being sold on eBay with four connectors, these are even better though far too expensive (I would still require 4 =80 euros > multilane cables are cheaper).


What I'm basically doing is using an external case (old SCSI CD-ROM tower) for SATA devices, using the practically free Asus things should be the cheapest solution. Any other cheap suggestion to do this is welcome as well. Knowing what boards has them could help me find some.
 
that's called a sata passthrough bracket? asus brand passthrough's run about 12 to 18 bucks US by themselfs. There's a couple of the asus brand brackets on ebay, 3 from one seller.. One of the asus boards that I've seen come with that particular bracket is the ASUS P5AD2 Premium Wireless Edition. I think the gigabytes sata board is called GC sata.
