Hi

I just built my first PC.

E6750;Intel DG33BU Mobo;2 x 1GB PC6400 Kingston RAM;1 x 80GB and 1 x 500GB HDD;AC bel 500W PSU;Gigabyte GZ-X2 Case....

My use being for home video editing I wanted to get a case with front Firewire port to easily plugin my DV Cam. All other cases I saw at the shop where I bought seemed bad build. So settled for GZX2.

This case has a blanked out Firewire port and space to mount a connector on the front port PCB. The mobo has an internal header. Are such ports and wires with the connectors to plug into the internal header available?

I saked the the shop fellow for this but he was :confused:. He could not even understand what the internal header is leave alone the port and connecting wires. He told me to use a PCI card for the Firewire. Again a set of rear ports:mad:
