Using mesh to make an IO Shield?

[Blackhawk47]

Just wandering if anyone has done this because i have my mobo installed currently without a io shield because i think its bent too much (old and worn) for it to fit properly.
Im thinking some thin mesh with smaller holes rather than the large honey comb style ones.

What do you guys think?

have you considered writing to your mobo's manufacturer asking them to mail you a new one?

Theres an idea, do you think they would send one out for free? It is quite a old motherboard
