Internal USB Expansion - we need this!
« on: April 07, 2010, 08:10:40 AM »
I was casually browsing Amazon and they recommended this thing to me. At first I was like "What madness is this?" but then I rejoiced:

NZXT IU01 Internal USB Expansion (Black)


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031ESKJA/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER



This lil baby adds extra internal USB headers and ports, such that you can plug stuff like your usb bluetooth module permanently inside the case. A better description comes from Amazon customer reviews:

Quote
The NZXT IU01 is the perfect solution for the longstanding problem of not having enough USB HEADERS on your motherboard.

There seems to be some confusion so I will explain. This device adds three USB headers to your motherboard. A USB header is normally located on your motherboard and serves to connect two USB PORTS. What ends up happening many times is that a computer will have four external USB ports on the front of their case and only two USB motherboard headers. Both headers will be taken up on the motherboard (2 USB ports per header), thus preventing anything else from being connected such as a fan controller or an internal media card reader. This bad boy, the NZXT IUO1, comes to the rescue and pops out three more headers inside of your computer case. Note that this card also comes with two USB ports on it to connect a standard USB device such as a flash dongle, wireless dongle, bluetooth dongle, or a myriad of other dongles. These extra two ports on the NZXT IU01 are presumably to be used for something that you want to leave permanently inside of your case, or at least for an extended period of time. Once you close the case up you will not have easy access to any of these ports until you reopen the case.

And at just US$20, it is worth it!!

So Arcmanov and I have acquired our units:

As already stated in another thread, Arc's had an untimely coincidental loss of his PSU after installing his unit, but my install works fine.  Installs as a generic USB hub.

See pic with it just hooked up 'mid air', as I have not yet decided on a final resting place:



connected: USB Bluetooth device, USB Wifi Adapter, and two headers are for a 4-port USB bracket.

Now I can has up to FIFTEEN USB DEVICES plugged in my PC!!!  :banana:

(btw, I have a 2nd one that I will sell soon...)
