hmm, im getting an http500 error on that page so i cant see what it looks like. if you have connectors for usb on your mobo, just cut a hole in the front panel and attach a port right there.

I dont really understand how the device would be able to transfer data thru its 1394 port if its goung to use USB 1.1 to connect to the computer.
USB 1.1 is like 12mb/sec and firewire is like a lot lot faster than that.
i really dont think this device is worth it.
But I sure would like some more insight on this pretty new device.;)

aglio, i just looked at the pic. if you wanted to try, you could mod it and add a usb port right under where it says "PRO III"

take a usb port from one of these:

it would take a little bit of work, but its a solution
