tateburns Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I've been searching the vast oceans of the internet for hours in an attempt to find a 1394b (Firewire 800) 5.25" internal bay. My plan is to run it to a PCI card with an internal 1394b connector. Here is the PCI card I plan on using that has the 1394b connector. 7-Port NitroAV FireWire 800/1394b & USB2.0/1/1 ComboProfessional PCI Host Adapter Interface I'd really prefer not to spend $90 on that either, but it's all I can find with the internal 1394b connector that I could feed to a 5.25" bay. Ideally, the 5.25" bay would have 1394a/b, eSATA, and USB 2.0. I don't feel like that's a tall request but apparently I'm in the minority here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

tateburns Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Found a 5.25" bay, Koutceh 7293 Wish they had it in black... EDIT: And apparently they don't make that anymore. So I've found this one in stock, Intel 1394b front panel However, I'm wondering how to convert one of those pin connectors so I can run it to the port of my internal 1394b port?

tateburns Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Alright well here is my final setup I'm going to order. I found a card with a 10-pin 1394b internal connector. Also going to order a little adapter for my existing 1394a card so I can hook that up to the Intel front panel bay.
