XPS 8930, I/O shield

I just transferred all of the parts from a Dell XPS 8930 to a Phantek P400a case.  Was wondering if anyone makes the I/O shield for the XPS 8930 mothershield.

    You will probably have to make your own.  This comes up occasionally by people that move a Dell motherboard to a standard ATX case,  and I haven't seen any 3rd party shields.

    Nice case!!

    Do share pictures and link it here at the end of that thread as well so it does not get lost.

    Towards end of this post using a mesh DIY universal IO shield, there is a link to how I used the foam template to make the cuts for a Phanteks P-350x case swap.  It turned out okay, went faster using a case knife the second time vs an x-acto knife.  Razor blade will work as well, just take your time.

    @Mr.Byte  used a generic plate he somehow was able to cut out here on this thread that has pictures of his swap

    @John-Jay   found a plastic 3D printed universal rear IO shield he was going to use that looks like this, haven't seen how it turned out yet.

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to tackle my Case-Change Project because of "Other-Problems" (nothing to do with Computers)!!

     

    When I eventually tackle it, I will report back & provide relevant Pictures!
