lLooking for USB for computer front

I would like to have a PCI card that connects to a front 5.25 panel to
give 4 USB 2 ports.

Anyone have one they like?

I've had this Bytecc for about 5 months. Easy install, no software involved,
works fine. Quite versatile; especially with the eSATA.

Look cool, but not quite what I am looking for. The one you have
listed plugs into the motherboard. I need one that comes with a PCI
card and I only need USB ports.

I havn't been able to find but one. It looks like this one.

This one is in the UK and I live in the US.

This looks like a way cool one, but I don't need firewire. I have no
clue what uses it.

Look at this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815124002

It has the USB header, so you can either buy a front panel like this:

or use it with one you already have.

Newegg has a card http://tinyurl.com/cdpsfy
and a front panel hub http://tinyurl.com/djt2q5

I'm sure they have others.
There are also quite a few cheap external hubs on the market and after using
what you want for a while I would have been just as well off with a seperate
unit.

That one will do it. It is nice that it comes with a 5.25 adapter.

I wanted a kit, but getting two parts works too.
In both the kit you showed and the one JR Weiss showed shows the
included cable with a "standard" USB plug on one end and it looks like
it plugs into a printer on the other end.

So.....either the card or the port hub has standard USB and the
printer shaped one.

Right?

Thanks for the suggestions
