So i have been looking at a few videos of peoples builds and stuff and i have seen people with these type of covers on their motherboards. I was wondering if anyone knew what they was called and where you can get them? They look good and make the build look a lot nicer. I have a MSI Z97 Gaming 7 Motherboard.

Motherboard shields come with some motherboards, one that springs to my mind is the Asus TUF Z97 Sabertooth

Not sure if there are any for sale though, especially for your board.

Damn, would be really cool to get one, but not worth buying a whole new MB for one xD

if you are in school and have a somewhat decent D/T department you could probably make one with some acrylic and a laser cutter. I would but I am no longer in school :/

I'm almost certain that Asus' Sabretooth motherboard's are the only one's with this option. You could probably fashion a motherboard shield fro plastic or some other material(as Zayev said). Obviously, it would be easier if you were in school and had easy access to machines and tools to do so, but even if you're out of school, you could still do it probably. You'll just have to find access to tools and what not to help. It'd be a nice, fun, custom bit of work IMO, but could be a huge pain in the ass.

£400 for a board though is a bit silly...

All motherboards are different so you would have to make a very specific design.
