I don't think you can connect the front FireWire port to that FireWire card...it does have an internal port but I think you need a internal header with exposed pins, not a port.

oh i see. do you think you could help me out there, and tell me which card im gonna need to be able to hook up a front firewire port in my case, cause my motherboard doesnt have any firewire ports or headers on it

You could use a Card Reader like this one. It connects to a PCI card 1394 plug and doesn't need a header. HERE is the manual for it which explains how it sets up. Or you could change your motherboard choice to one with an internal header.

Sorry, I don't use FireWire and don't know of any FireWire card that has an internal header. But I did come across this male FireWire plug to header adapter. I think this will connect the front FireWire port to the internal port on that card you are looking at.
