I just bought a case that was front USB ports. I am confused as to where to "plug in" the wires on the motherboard... Are there any USB headers on my P3B-F motherboard? If I don't have them, is there any other way to connect them?

I dont remember if there's any on the board itself... if not you can just buy an add-on USB 2.0 card... :) BTW did you get the stickers yet?

Hmmm, good question. I haven't run into that problem yet, but it's a good thing to know. I'm kinda new at all this tech stuff, new to the board as well. Can anyone help the Ant Man?

No.

BX chipset only supports 2 USB ports in the southbridge. See those ports on the backplate? Those ports. :)

You can get "extension" cables that plug in the back and attach to a front panel.

New motherboards have support for 4-8 USB's, with each extra pair having a "connector" unless they are routed to the backplate.
