You can get the brackets off ebay...
e.g.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ASUS-COMPUTER-MB-ACCESSORY-SPDIF-OUT-COA-OPT-4pin-SPDIF_W0QQitemZ290188922540QQihZ019QQcategoryZ3701QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem

Various other places sell them (including the asus store but they always
seem to be out of stock).
