I'm trying to figure out how to increase my internal USB ports. I don't want an external hub, I need them to be internal (like the 10-pin male USB 2.0 headers on the mobo). I've got a 780i board with a CM Stacker 830. The board has 10 USB ports, however if I want to install my media card reader I would have to sacrifice 2 of the front panel ports in order to use it. I really don't want to have 2 non-working ports, so what can I do to get this all working? Thanks.
 
This is an example of what NOT to buy:
$7 - Masscool USB2.0 PCI Card Model MTU25

This is the type of card you should buy (notice in the pic that it has a header port instead of a typical rear I/O panel female port):
$10 - Rosewill Low-Profile PCI to 2+1 USB2.0 Cards Model RC-100 - Retail

Cool, thanks man. I looked on NewEgg before but I could only find the ones with the external ports. Thanks.

Now I just gotta figure out how I'm gonna fit another video card in there for SLI. Arrggg!!!!
