Not entirely sure this post belongs here, but:

I'm assembling a system based on the Abit AT7-MAX, and I'd like to add a front bezel to my case that make use of the on-board USB 2.0 and firewire headers. I've looked at several models, but have yet to find one that comes set up to connect to the mobo -- they all want to string a host of messy cables out to the back of your case... Anyone have recomendations on a sub- $40 unit (3 1/2" or 5 1/4" -- doesn't matter) that DOES hook up to the headers or, failing that, where I can get some cables with internal (mobo) headers on both sides? Failing THAT, does anyone know where I can get the little header connector boot thingies so I can mod the cables that come with the front bezel unit?

As always, I am indebted to all who reply for their collective, neigh boundless wisdom. =)

just get an <A HREF="http://www.mikhailtech.com/articles/other/antecusb/" target="_new">Antec Easy USB</A> and you can change the pin config to match your mobo header.

you could always build your own. thats what i did, audio jacks in the front, and winamp control buttons hooked up to the serial port, with a light too!

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal

Thanks, Jlanka, but that is just about the UGLIEST, plainest, most unjustifiably huge front bezel I've ever seen. Can there not be functionality as well as fashion!? Besides, there's no firewire ports.
