Modding Extra long USB header leads

OK, i need to add some front mounted USB ports on my PC, so i though i'd get one of thos USB backplates (that go at the rear of a case) and remove the socket of the Backplate and stick it at the front, but the leads arent long enough, and i can fine any longer ones

- what do you modders do for front USB sockets??


thanks ,daniel

 

cut the wires and solder with suitable wire doddle

 

ok
- i was just wondering if there was a way to avoid that

- i guess not


thanks, daniel (i'll get soildering asap!!)

 

about that

Usb is serial right? so then my additional extensions don't have to exactly be the same length, correct? what about firewire? I mean i'll try to get the extension wires the same lenght, but it really won't cause a problem, yes?
