Hope someone can point me in the right direction...

I have an Antec 1080 AMG server case with 2 usb ports and 1 firewire port in the front of the case.

The lead wires from these 3 ports terminate in individual header pin connectors.

I am trying to connect to a Gigabyte 8I-exp motherboard and am having problems - the header pins are too far away and the space is too tight for my eyes and hands to properly connect the various individual leads.

I would like to obtain header plugs that I can solder the various leads onto and then simply plug the 2 (or 3) connectors onto the motherboard headers.

I have searched the web and local stores - but can only find what I want as part of a pre-assembled kit - I can't locate the header plug sold by themselves.

I would need (1) Firewire header port header plug (gigabyte style???)
I would need (1) USB 2 x 5 header port header plug (gigabye style???)
or (2) 1 x 5 header port header plugs...


I have contacted gigabyte tech support and then keep refering me to a gigabyte RETAIL dealer (is there such a thing) or their own sales department. Naturally, their sales department will not respond to my inquiries! The few gigabyte dealers on the web I've tried have no idea what I'm talking about (as expected).


I'm sure a generic plug would work fine...

Any thoughts - part numbers, mfg info or vendor information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks -

I'm sure there must be others - but at least its a start...
