Ok, I need a little help here. Since I am going to buy the EPoX EP-MF570 SLI Socket AM2 board that doesn't have firewire, but I want to have firewire capability only so that my computer case's front firewire port won't be dead. Currently, PCI-Express 1x firewire cards are too expensive, so it'll be PCI firewire cards for now..
My case that I will be buying is the COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811119068). To use the front firewire port, do I need a firewire add-on card that has an internal firewire port, or an internal 9-pin header, or does it matter with this case?
I did find this one card, the SYBA IEEE 1394a FireWire PCI Card with Internal 9-pin Header Model SD-VIA-FW1E1H (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16815124034)
