I'm having a BIG problem finding this cable, if it even exists.
I went out and bought a front mount USB hub, the kind that fits in a 3.5" floppy drive bay. It works great, but the only draw back is I have to run a cable across my main board, out the back of my machine and into one of the rear USB ports. I would much rather plug it in to the INTERNAL USB posts on my MoBo.
Unfortunatly, I can't seem to find an internal to internal USB cable. Any ideas of where I could find one?
Thanks!

Email the manufacturer of the mobo?

Close Dopey, but with the internal connecters at both ends. Kinda like this:

This is the hub I have in my computer:

You can see the back of the hub uses a flat 4 pin (?) jack and end of the cable uses a standard USB plug. I want the 4 pin jack at both ends.

I have that same hub and Dope is right. You are going to have to get any internal header and splice it together. Go to Fry's. You should be able to find one for less than $10 there.
