Case USB3 Internal connector to USB2 on MB

[dyanamo]

Hi guys.

I would like to know if any of you know of a online store that sells the USB3 female plug to USB2 male plug locally.

In other words I need my USB3 header from my case to connect to my MB's USB2 internal header via means of a adapter. I Just want the 2 case USB3 ports usable by normal USB2.

Unfortunately I cant use a PCI-e card to get USB3 as I only have one available and its going to be for a wireless n card.

This is what I am after locally: http://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=608660

If this is the correct product then this is probably your cheapest option (search there may be cheaper/longer options) ...

I have only seen these products available locally ...

You could easily make up the cable if you have a soldering iron but you need to measure the headers very carefully as they come in both 2.54mm and 2.0mm pitches. You can purchase the headers from Mantech, Rabtron etc. You would need to take along a clear picture of the cable to get the correct USB 3.0 box header.

Some ideas ...

Does deal extreme ship to South Africa at no cost? At the payments page and its not charging me for shipping. If this is the case then wow I have found my new favorite store.

Anyone have any idea on custom charges for a $3.60 item?
