Does anyone know where you plug in a card reader on the P5k BP? I don't see it anywhere in the installation manual or anywhere in a Google search.

its only a half size pin though, 4 pin holes, half the thickness, so I guess it doesnt matter if its on the top or bottom

That just means it's one USB port. The ports on the MoBo support 2 USB's each.

Kinda sucks though because there is a useless row under it that could be used. Not that I am that worried, I am going eSata after seeing the performance difference in my external drives. USB for me will only be for stuff I may want to put on a different pc.
