dakegragot my 5-port USB card this morning, which was pretty fast!
I'm curious about the setup though - four external USB ports, fine. But one internal port. What would you plug into an internal port?
[edit] I do have a USB bluetooth dongle which I could use in there, I suppose. The wifi dongle really needs to live outside the case, given the issues I've had with the connection between the room the computer is in and the router downstairs...
Also for the technologically minded amongst you: My PC case has two front-mounted USB ports, but they don't seem to work. I'm reasonably sure I've plugged the correct lead into the correct bit of the motherboard. Any suggestions?

Any clues from the device manager list?
