Front Panel USB 2.0

[JayCub]

Im looking for suggestions for conecting USB 2.0 front panel ports, as i don't have any internal headers to spare, as there was only one on the rampage III motherboard and that is taken up by the OC station, the lack of headers leaves me with two sets of USB 2.0 ports not working.
any suggestions would be appreciated, or decent adapters, these are handy ports to have but not essential as fire-wire and eSata work and enough USB 3.0 and 2.0 to the rear..

Hmm... if I were you, and didn't have all the headers needed (which I might add, on my P4 is a big problem considering how limited the board is!), I'd be investing in a PCI card with the added ports on it. Granted, it's not front panel, but it would work.

If you need it to be front panel, there MIGHT be some hardware floating around that would work for it, but I doubt it highly, I've never seen it myself.

Thank you for the reply Paul, i wasn't sure if i could attatch front panel USB to a PCI card, i did read that some had maybe one internal header i presumed as i haven't used one before, i have plenty of USB ports to the rear of the case and maybe invest in USB 3.0 front ports for the front panel when they are available and route the wire out the back to a spare USB 3.0 the only problem i have is the case is really heavy...strange that an expensive motherboard only had one USB 2.0 header.

NZXT Internal USB Expansion Card - 6+2 Ports this is a cheap way to connect your front usb 2.0 ports for gaming pc's that don't have enough usb 2.0 headers on their motherboard, as it's a tower i want to be able to use the front usb 2.0 for usb keys, it's too heavy to move around.
