I have two internal USB 2.0 connectors on my ASUS PC4000-E Deluxe, but i need one more internal USB connector.
Is there a internal USB hub that i can mount inside my computer in a 3.5 bay
or some sort of splitter
thanks

Many motherboards have a USB header on the actual board where you can plug in a USB bracket, adding 2 extra ports.

i dont need more external USB ports
i need more internal USB ports
the motherboard comes with 2 USB headers
but i need four headers

I need two headers for front access USB
and one header for a internal USB card reader

Guess i didnt read properly either,if you used up all your internal & external ports then you'll have to buy a pci usb card.

You use 4 front usb ports? Each header is good for 2 ports...

You could always use a usb hub hooked up to a rear usb port instead of the ones on the front of the case which would free up 1 or 2 headers. Otherwise you'll have to find a usb card with internal headers, I don't know of any mobo's with more then 2 internal headers.

I have the same problem, not enough USB headers on my board to get all 4 front case ports working, most PCI USB cards have 1 header but I am going to order this one since it the only I can find that 2 headers.
