nine pin to USB socket header?

Gav_881 · 12 Jun 2012 at 19:33

is there a connector out there to put a usb socket directly onto a motherboard header so i can put my WIFI and wireless keyboard receivers inside my case.

I've seen USB3 ones on fleabay but no USB 2 ones and i want to use the USB3 header for a front IO

Yeh i could use one i just want it all nice and neat inside, i have dropped the front IO header into the case to check the degradation and tbh its hardly noticeable.

just hoped someone had seen one that went straight up into a socket so its all tidy.

Thanks mate that just the ticket, when did that well known grocery store get into selling components.

how secure is it? i'll be moving the pc around a lot and dont really want to have to open the case to reconnect the wifi.

That ones a bit on the pricy side for me, was thinking about getting a dual BT/wifi pcie card but theres not gonna be any room in my case if i decide to go SLI later.

Never thought having a small case would be this much of a compromise.

been looking at the pcie wifi cards but theres no room for the msata port in my case whilst i'm using my water cooler the radiator gets in the way. only thing i can think of to sort that out is to mount both fans on the case side of the radiator to give enough standoff for the card but that in turn increases the load on the mounting holes for transport.

sometimes think i should have just got a laptop but then i play games and all is well
