This is probably dumb but I'm new to this and not quite sure what to do. I have the antec lanboy and there are a bunch of wires for the two front usb ports. Not sure about how to connect to my Soyo Dragon Lite. It already came with a PCI card with 4 usb 2.0 ports and the connections for it already took up the usb pins that i know of. Can anyone tell me what I can do? Will I have to sacrifice two usb ports for one front one?

The motherboard supports up to 4 USB 2.0 devices.
2 accessible from the rear of the motherboard(surface mount),
2 accessible from the USB Slot adapter.
In order for you to use the front connection on the Antec case, you
will need to disconnect one of the USB Slot adapter connections.
The directions for connecting them to the Antec case can be found
in the Antec manual that came with the case or on their website.

i believe it's

has two usb ports on board and 4 additional 2.0 on the pci card that came with it which I cnnected to the usb pins.
I've disconnected two of the 4 2.0 usbs for the front usb. so now left with two 2.0 from pci card, two front and two from original mobo.
Installing the front usb turned out to be quite easy as Soyo's website had a great diagram for the pins. My problem was why did they give so few pins??

The PWR LED, HDD LED, and Speaker should all be
on the same ribbon.
POWER SW = Power switch
RESET SW = Reset switch
and the 8 USB connectors
on the same ribbon.
