This one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815108102) looks like it has the header pins directly behind the internal connector. One of the reviews even indicates connecting an Antec case front firewire to the internal connectors.

i though that it needed more pins theen that

Standard Firewire cables are 6 pin and minis are 4 - that looks like 6 pins to me.

but how come on most motherboard on the header there are 9 pins

The last motherboard Firewire header I saw had 7 pins. There can be extra grounds that are not needed. USB headers are usually 9 pins.

Hi kevinf. Just throwing out a thought for ya: I've know several folks to use needing a FireWire port as a good excuse to get (or upgrade) a sound card with a built in port....
