Recommend: Firewire card with internal port header?

[imported_jeffterm]

I went and bought a Gigabyte DS3 board without firewire. But I bought a case that has a nice fancy port in the front, with the cable having the standard header pin type connector. What I'd like to buy is a firewire card, either PCI or PCIe, that has one internal port. All of the ones I've found have a real internal port, no header pins.
I know I can find a conversion cable for $10-$12, but I thought I could spend the extra money and buy a slightly more expensive card and to do what I need.

maybe even 1394b?

It's primary use will be video connection/capture with my camcorder.

Any suggestions, or recommendations?

Thanks

Well, here's a super cheap one: Newegg

More expensive with more ports: JR
The Ultra may not be obvious from the link, however it does have a header on the board.

The only 1394b board I found is an HP with a "custom 10 pin" internal header


Good luck.

You could go cheap ... or get a Belkin card which can have 2 USB 2.0 Ports on the rear,
2 Rear Firewire Ports and 1 Internal USB & 1 Internal Firewire so you can bring both to the Front Panel
Downside is it costs more ... shop around for best cost ... it also comes with some
possibly useful software ...as an aside I also use a USB Hub so that my devices can connect
easily without having to get behind the computer

bruceb: that card doesn't have the firewire header the OP has requested. He wants pins, not the standard connector that the belkin has.

Then perhaps he should consider this one:

It has 3 External USB 2.0 / 2 External Firewire 1394
and Headers for Both USB & Firewire so he extend
to the front panel ... and it only costs $28 plus shipping
and in some areas, tax

Thanks to everyone. I will most likely go with the simple one from newegg. I was trying to convince myself to get a 1394b - but I suppose if I can't think of why I need it I most likely wont need the speed. How many devices use 800m speed? surely not my camcorder

Thanks again to everyone who gave this some thought.
