I need an I/O shield!

[CurlySturly]

Hey guys recently, I managed to get an amazing deal on a ASUS M5A99X EVO but unfortunately I failed to see that the board didn't come with a I/O shield. I've looked everywhere and unfortunately I can't find a single place that sells an I/O shield for this particular motherboard, so what would you guys suggest I do, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Looked on fleabay? If non on there tried emailing asus directly?

I've emailed Asus but I'm not sure when I'll get a reply, there are a couple of items on eBay but thy look a bit sketchy to say the least! E.g shipping from china with free shipping. Do you think I could get away without using one?

 

[wazza300]

yeah you'll be ok without one

Don't think they count as a competitor, given their range of stock;
