Build my own USB / 1394 connectors

[imported_rudy]

Ok I have a front panel that has a bunch of misc ports firewire, USB, card readers and so on. I have a mother board with USB hookups 2x5 small pins, The panel came with all these hookups to run out the back of my computer and plug into the existing ports. I want to go strait from the motherboard to the panel so everything is less messy and more direct. But i need to know where to buy the parts and what they are called since I dont know electical jargon. things like the little metal things that contact the pins, and naming and sizes for the little plastic peice (harness?) that holds them all together. I would also like to clean up the hookups for my reset/pwr swtich and so on since they came all separated.

Also It would be nice if I could add 3-4 more USB ports I was thinking of buying a small USB HUB and taking it appart and rigging all the wires up. Or is there something better suited for the job like a small board already suited for such a job?
