USB header housings for front panel case connectors
Hello:
I am finishing up buiding a new PC for the roommate(A 8XGNXP 3,2ghz) and I have a question about the USB front panel connectors that come with new cases these days (In my case an Antec Lanboy). The Gigabyte board shipped with a rear header for the USB and 1394 connections already wired and ready to plug into the MB and indeed they work. My question is with the setup on the front panel connection on the case. They terminated each pin it into individual housings and then you are supposed to plug these into the header row. Well that is proving to be a complete PITA as they just don't stay in. So I want to pull those out of the individual housings and use a normal housing. So one question I have is, is there a source to buy these housings somewhere? Also the connectors each have 5 wires coming out of them while the header rows only allow for 9 pins total. I see that 2 of the wires are ground connections, so I assume that I can eliminate some of these, but which ones? The ones that make up the shield ground or the one that is the logic(?) ground? My DVM shows a common ground between all of the ground wires so does it really matter? Thanks, Bob |
