Did you get a motherboard without IO shield? IOmesh is all that you need to make a new replaced custom motherboard back plate.

Why is IOmesh universal backplate so special? It is very easy to work with her. It is made from plastic that why can be very easily cut and no sharp edges on the end that can damage your PC.

In just 5minutes you can have a new custom IO backplate that will fit with your motherboard IO ports and all tools that are needed are wire pliers.

For some PC motherboards can be hard to find a replacement IO port shield.

The Package includes 2 pieces of IOmesh blank universal IO shield backplate that can be used for two completely different motherboards.

PC build is not completed without a motherboard IO shield plate.
