USB add-on connections

[wolf68k]

I've got a mobo that has 2 usb ports to polug usb devices into. It also has 2 ports on the bottom end of the mobo to add on usb, like for cases that had front usb ports.
I know some where a long time ago I saw a usb add-on that used a PCI slot on the case, but was not a PCI card. It was just the mounting bracket with the usb ports on it, wires coming off of them going to a special plug to plug onto the mobo.

What are these things called? So I can look for them at some placed like pricewatch.com

Thanks

Something like what is here? (Starting at the third item down from the top.)

Yes. that is what I'm looking for.
I also figured it out later after finding my mobo manual and looking at others.

Now I have a new question.
The manual, also looked at the mobo itself, shows for both USB1 &2 5-pins and 4-pins. Msot of these internal usb cable things are 5-pin, but I have seen some as 4-pin.
Can I buy one of each and have 2 different ones hooked to each and end up with a total 4 usbs?
The specs for the usb are listed as; USB2.0 connector x2, USB2.0 headers x4 (cable option)

You can buy as many as your motherboard will support. If I read your specs correctly, you can support 4 more via USB 2.0 headers. That is what these would connect too. I think the "USB2.0 connector x2" means the actual USB 2.0 ports on the I/O panel of the motherboard. So it looks like you can get 2 slot covers (assuming each has 2 USB ports.)
