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? |

Easy install, no software involved, works fine. Quite versatile; especially with the eSATA. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811999176 |

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. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Max-Value-US.../dp/B00126G60E 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. http://reviews.pricegrabber.com/usb-...es/m/18072671/ |

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: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815150025 or use it with one you already have. |

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 |
