Front Panel USB question

I did a quick search on this and couldn't find anything in the forum, so...

I have a homebuilt PC with an A8V Deluxe motherboard. I would like to add some USB ports to the front panel of the case. I have searched for an internal front panel hub, but all the ones I can find seem to require an internal USB port. The board has two USB headers (4-pin plugs, so to speak) but no internal ports. Can anyone direct me to a front panel hub which has the proper cable to plug into the header, or is there a workaround using some esoteric adapter (well, esoteric to me, anyway)? Or am I missing something very obvious and embarrassing?

Thanks in advance!

The Logisys panel I use is based off of headers, as are the front panels to my Antec p150 case.

Although there are Front Panel USB Ports that either mounts on a 3.5" or 5 1/4" slots, there are also those that can be esoterically mounted. What I did, I disabled a back panel mounted USB ports and then cut holes/slots on the front panel with two mounting holes for the screws and woolaah, I have two USB fronts at the front panel. Choose your pick from the following:

Multi Panel

Back Panel USB

3.5 Slot

3.5 Slot with Firewire
