What? even my laptop has one! ;P
Yeah, I was surprised too. It's a 2-year old Clevo. Don't know
why they put it there but it seems it will be handy.
Desktop mother boards seem to still have one too (at least those
I bought recently). They just don't ship the connector anymore
(MB to card-plate connector). Keeping the old stuff can be
useful.

Well eBay isn't what I would call "trustworthy"... But as I've
just answered to Hai Nguyen Dang, I can muster all the parts.
I'm just lazy :)
