    Hi there,
    I am looking for the plastic frame found on S478 boards (around the socket):

    I'm in south Co. Dublin (near Bray) but I could drive within a reasonable distance to pick it up, if you have a spare one from an old/dead/decommissioned board etc..

    I remember throwing away dozens of S478 motherboards a couple of years ago, who would have thought that in 2009 Shuttle uses S478 holes for their S775 motherboards... :eek:

    No worries, I found one and it was of no use (slightly different mounting holes...)
    Thanks anyway
