I was reading a review on the GA-P35-DS3R here, and I have a question about a couple of the reviewer's comments.

Quote :

"Three black PCI-Express x1 and three white PCI slots are provided and all of the PCI slots are still available even when using a dual slot PCI-Express x16 graphics card. While this is a great addition, Gigabyte needed to include it since there's no Firewire, WiFi or extra Ethernet included on board. There are however twelve USB 2.0 ports supported, [B]providing you can find your own PCI bracket adapter to use the eight included on the motherboard via the yellow pin-outs[/B]."



Does anyone know where I can find this "PCI bracket adapter" for the yellow pin-outs on the board?

Quote :

"Additionally, the front panel audio pin-out is in green and is placed between the northbridge and rear I/O, which makes getting to it a little awkward. In contrast the S/PDIF in gets a red keyed shroud by the PCI slots, [B]should you go on a Lord of the Rings style quest to obtain yourself the optional PCI bracket that fits[/B]."



Can anyone tell me what the "optional PCI bracket" is he's talking about? And what is it for and where could I find one?

Thanks.

I believe something like this MITSUMI internal USB 2.0 digital card reader would plug into one of those USB pin outs. That would be a helpful device to have, plus it also doubles as a floppy drive.
