Where to get CNR Sound Riser?

[thadk]

After contacting tech support, scouring the net several times and double checking the manual I have No idea where to obtain the "Optional" CNR riser card for the MSI nForce 420D Pro (? possibly the same as 415D). It's killing me that I have awesome sound hardware sitting powered up right now and I can't even use it with my Z560s .

Anyone have any clue where I might find this individually? The one place I did find it was Here and it was in Australia and somewhat highly priced (~~$33usd)...

Is CNR a standard? Could I get any old CNR riser?

Wish one of em was listed on ResellerRatings. Anyone know if they're good dealers?

Axiontech Doesn't get much better than this.

Hmm, thought I did a search for that one (or at least a ctrl-f) weird. . .anyway it was a modem riser which was there, not sound...oops.

After some more research stemming from the first link which nergee kindly lead me to It looks like CNR is an established standard. I decided to go with the Hercules card stocked at NewEgg for $14 after finding the manufacturer linked from Intel's CNR page. I'll see in a few days how well it goes. Thanks again for the leads.

Okay, got it in...The CNR card sold at NewEgg does work and without installing any new drivers on the nForce for future reference. To use it you plug your rear channel into the right plug on the card and the front channels plug into the Motherboard Plug...that had me for a few mins.
