Firewire cards with internal headers

Rusty · 18 Jul 2007 at 19:35

Just built my 1st system for about 4yrs (been using laptop) and i dropped a clanger with the mobo by getting a DS3R. Great mobo, but no firewire :mad:

, i just assumed all mobos would have it these days. What i'm after now is a firewire card and wondered if there were any that had internal header so i can use the front firewire port on my Antec 900

Regards

Can't link, but have a search for "Ultra 4-Port PCI Firewire Card with 2 Internal and 2 External Ports".

by the looks of it both the ones on this site do (the metal thing at the back of the ocuk value one, and the white thing at the top of the belkin one)

Those are actual ports, not headers.

Can't find anything in the UK with those parameters.............. :confused:

And yes, it's internal headers, not ports i'm after

Hm, it might be easiest to just get a 3.5" drive bay version, if you desperately need ports at the front.

Don't desperately need ports at the front, but they're there so it'd be nice to use them rather than messing about round the back, as it were
