Appreciate the response!  I thought of that, but I'd rather look for a
more elegant solution.  I also thought of choosing a different case,
but I really would like to keep the one I have (a SliverStone LC-11).
I have seen cases (The Travla series) that have additional "areas" on
the back of the case for non-PCI based I/O plates like this, and I
like that idea.

I'll keep looking, thank you for all the replies so far!
