Antec Sonata front panel ports by Tahiti
The firewire/USB/audio ports on the Sonata case seem to support only cards with headers specifically designed for connecting to the front panel. Has anyone tried connecting to these ports by soldering header pins to their cards? What brand firewire card works with the Sonata case?
