Extra ASUS bits

Doesn't your board only have a single USB 3.0 header on it anyway? That would be connected to the USB 3.0 ports on your case so you wouldn't have anywhere to plug one of these into.
 
You used to get the usb2 pci bracket module with Asus boards. Though the last few I've bought, (x58, z77 and z87) didn't have them.
 
It's not Asus saving money at all. It's a budget board and Asus, as well as most other manufacturers including Gigabyte, keep the accessories to a minimum on budget models to keep the price down. If you want more accessories buy a more expensive board. Like I said though, I believe his board only has a single USB3.0 header and that would be used by the USB3.0 ports on the case.

Is £100 a budget board? I didn't want a super gaming board and £100 seemed to get what I wanted.

It has 2 x USB2 and 4 x USB3 on back but it has 2 x USB2 and 2 x USB3 headers on the board for use elsewhere.

QUESTION UNANSWERED - where can I buy these things NOT included. Didn't really want a philosophical debate!!

Thanks if you know.

Yes £100 is a budget board these days although if you spent that much on that board then you have overpaid for it. If you want more features/accessories you need to spend more money. If you read the forum rules you will know that we are not allowed to suggest other places that sell computer components. I suggest you check ebay and do some googling.

Just build a pc around an ASUS Z97-K from OC UK.

Trying to find a few extra bits mentioned in the user guide.

E.g. USB 3.0 header

Advertised in Amazon US (hopefully not regarded as a competitor

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-header-module-external-bracket/dp/B00SILQJKS

and a digital audio connector.

Does anybody know who sells these please? Direct from ASUS?

Oh yes, I have a Asus Z97-A, it didn't come with one of those USB 3 headers either. I bought it separately. Doesn't need to be a proprietary Asus one anyone will do I bought something of fleabay iirc

Can you please remove the competitor link. As already mentioned, it is against forum rules.

Sorry = my fault - I know we can't quote competitors but as OCUK (or anybody else I could find) didn't seem to sell these things I hadn't thought of others a competition. Will read them more carefully next time. Apologies for getting C R A ZY into trouble! And apologies to OCUK. I did buy the board and CPU from them as a "job lot" for £245, so am not sure of exact price of MB. I would not buy a MB for £250 for my uses (non-gaming!). One I bought suits my purposes. Las time I bought an ASUS board more bits were included!

Thanks - found a front panel USB 2 one from another defunct box. That will be OK for the occasional USB memory stick I use. Thanks. Mel
