Looking for a USB3.0 to PCI bracket

Hola everyone *waves awkwardly at monitor*

I'm pretty close to finishing a new build. A friend of mine basically gave me an Antec case:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...29174&cm_re=Antec_case-_-11-129-174-_-Product

Theres a cable that connects to the front USB. It's 3.0 and the end of the cable (that you plug into the mobo) has a regular looking USB connection. The mobo I got has a 20 pin USB connector on it, so I purchased an 'adapter' like this:

It plugs directly onto the mobo's USB 3.0 connector. One of the ports goes to the front USB, the other is open. I'm looking for a 'bracket' type USB 3.0 that will connect to the other port, and I will just use an available slot in the back to mount it. For the life of me, I cannot find such a thing. Sure, I can find something like this:

or this:

but nothing that has a regular USB connector to a PCI bracket. I'm thinking my google-fu is broken. Does anyone have any info on where I can find such a thing?

Danke Shern in advance

Almost, but not quite. More something like this, but with a bracket on the one end:

The connector on the left plugs into the remaining open port on the mobo, and the part on the right you would install on a bracket on the back of the case

yeah, I'm not having any luck either. Then why the hell does the mobo adapter have 2 ports then?........sigh

Can not find it that way. You have 2 choices .. Get the PCI bracket and custom mount the adapter you've shown above to it. Or just buy and install a USB card which will come with a bracket to mount to the rear of the case .. if you have the spare slot, this would be the easiest way.
 
Why don't you just replace the USB 2.0 cable/connector in the front with a USB 3.0? I can't find anything on Antec's site with that much detail, so I don't know how difficult that would be.
 
Yeah I reckon y'all are right. I'll prolly just end up gettin a USB 3.0 PCIe card and toss it in an available slot. Or maybe I can corner the mark.....nah lol

Thx for the info everyone 🙂
