    I have always seen "headers" to be the internal pinouts. Not once have I heard headers used to refer to the back plate ports.

    Besides that, it specifically says the board had six USB 2.0, and two USB 3.0 on the back plate. THEN it lists the internal headers. and the title at the top states it has a total of four USB 3.0 on the board, which means the other two have to come from somewhere if there are only two on the back plate.

    You are correct, I didn't take the time to zoom in on the mobo in the picture. I only saw the 1 usb setup at the bottom of the board next to the floppy and made the assumption it was 2.0. So then my only other question would be where is the 2.0?

    My apologies on this, I rushed to a silly conclusion without doing my due diligence.

    Either of you guys heard of Moutain Mods they make custom cases.

    Looking at the Pinnacle what I like is the option to pretty much have the case custom cut with just about any option you can imagine. My only concern is cable routing doesn't look like theres realy an option to conceal stuff behind the mb back plate. If you use the Ascension CYO tool at the top you can see just how much can be done with there cases.
