Firewire

Just bought a case with a front firewire port, and I'm having a problem
finding a motherboard with pins that will allow a connection with the
individual wires, I can find the boards that have the compact plugs on them
that attach to the outlets on the rear. Thanks for in info.

Does your case FW connector(s) have the usual four-pin configuration? My
mobo (Gigabyte GA-8KNXP) has two four-pin ports, which is where you would
connect if you have them and if they match. Describe what case provides,
connector-wise, and what you're seeing in the mobo's you're considering.

The connectors consist of 4 wires labled tpb+ tpb- tpa+ tpa-
the board I've been looking at is the Asus p4p800 deluxe.

I had a look at your board at New Egg and the yellow and white connectors I
don't have, I have 4 indididual connectors, I have an Enermax CS 800TA-B
case if that helps.
