771412 2009-05-06 04:03:00 Anyone know where or if it is possible to get cables that go from the Motherboard USB, Firewire and Audio sockets into female sockets that can sit inside the case to plug into.

I know I can get both Dual USB or Firewire Brackets that allow plugging into the Motherboard and allow plugging in externally, but I want internal sockets.

Other than getting the brackets and chopping them up I am not sure how to go about this.

771413 2009-05-06 04:15:00 Assuming you mean going form the backpanel standard USB/Firewire/Audio connectors and ending in the same connectors inside the case the answer is yes, of course, you can get extension plugs for all these types of connector from any decent electrical supply stockist - try Jaycar or something. However, I'm not sure how tidy that would be or how you would mount them.

Most motherboards will have USB/Firewire/Audio headers on them, so that any internal device that should connect to these interfaces can plug straiht on to the headers. Some PCI USB and Firewire cards also have one or two connectors on the card itself so you connect internal devices.

Out of interest, though, why do you need to do this? Possibly another (better?) way to achieve the same end result.

771414 2009-05-06 04:20:00 The cables that come with a panel I have has standard sockets on instead of sockets that plug onto the motherboard, why they made it that way I have no idea since the panel was designed to connect inside the case and not outside.

Here is a pic and some feedback on a US site
www.newegg.com

It worked fine on this PC as I do have internal connecters that work, but now moving it to my other PC and it does not.

I put a Sunbeamtech panel on this PC instead. It has all the correct sockets for plugging straight onto the Motherboard.

771415 2009-05-06 04:27:00 The easiest is probably to just run the cables out one of the backplates of the case and plug them directly in to the required connectors on the back of the PC. inphinity (7274)
