Hey Computer geeks...Do they make....? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm building another computer and have discovered that I have several extra ports of various kinds and not enough internal connections to take advantage of them all.

I could add additional cards to support these things but since they make external USB hubs, it stands to reason that they may make internal hubs for USB as well as other connection types.

I have 3 internal USB connections, 2 internal audio connections, and 2 internal firewire connections but the motherboard only allows one of each.

Know of any products that can help me out with this?

Thanks for your time.

you can install PCI cards with USB ports... if your motherboard has the extra slots

is that what you are asking?

Exactly. And I do NOT want to add additional cards.

I could make my own couplers with a soldering iron and some time but i'd rather find and purchase a product that is designed for this.

Not a single INTERNAL USB, FireWire, or Audio connection plus, it's a card.

Do you honestly think i don't know WTF an add on USB card is?

Give me a little credit, Ice.

If I could find ONE card that has 3 INTERNAL USB, 2 INTERNAL FireWire, and 2 INTERNAL audio connections then I would consider that option. Come to think of it, the card would only need 2 USB, 1 FireWire, and 1 Audio since I already have one of each on the MB.

I don't want multiple add on cards though.

That might work as small as it is. 2 of those and hook into two separate usbs coming off the MB

Seems that I'm not the only person who is thinking about this.

That's an external item. Internal connectors are different.
