Slick.  Getting a bit OT, but where would one find such a device?

Many cases have other openings through which the ribbon cables can
exit; if all else fails you may be able to squeeze them between one
of the plates and the case, or remove some card's plate entirely --
they are often bolted rather than riveted to the card.  Yes, this
results in having those ports' DB9's hanging loose instead of bolted
into place.
