Rear Slot Bracket - Where to find one with opening for switch?

I have a CPU fan that has a three speed slide switch, but it doesn't have a
rear slot bracket to mount the switch to. I've seen these used/included with
other brands of fan switches, but I can't locate just the bracket. Drilling
a blank is the very last option that I want to do.

Does anyone know I can locate this item?

Drill the blank, shipping alone could cost $6 and it may
take days to find one if you ever do. Dependig on the size
of the switch a bracket for a rear USB dongle might work or
be easier to mod to work. Otherwise, a front bay fan
controller is a nicer, more precise and easier to access
option, and may not cost much if any more considering how
much time it could take to find just a metal bracket.

Then again, do you really need the switch accessible? I
mean, how often are you likely to reach behind the case to
change it?

Thanks for the reply. I'd still like to reserve the drilling option as the
last one, and for me, I really do not mind the price if it's within reason.

I hadn't thought about a bracket for a USB. That's an interesting idea if I
finally decide to drill.

You know ..., I had seen them in the past when I never needed one, but for
some reason, I didn't think about that option this time around.
