ok all, Im racking my brain and can not find the adaptor that I need on newegg.
The case I have is the Antech three Hundred two, it has USB3 on the front pannel. The mobo I am using for the build does not have a USB3 header.
So I need an adaptor to connect to the USB3 header and go to the back USB3 ports at the IO shield. It's not my system so I dont care if it's ugly, it'll come out a open PCI slot.
Anyone able to help.
TY

And a USB 3.0 cable, and you've got a frankenstein motherboard header :) I don't know how well it will work with two ports, though (is it half speed, or is one totally non-working?)

Or, for a more practical solution, just get a couple of USB 3.0 cables, cut off the ends, cut the header off the internal case header, and stick the cables together.
 
the PCi card would work. Som cases come with the adaptor so you can plug the header into the 2 USB3 ports in the back of the mobo, thats what Im looking for.
