"IDE connector: Rarely found today" did that make anyone else suddenly feel old
IDE is old? I remember when it was new...and the VESA local bus was old...compared to the ISA bus.

I still have motherboards with AGP slots and even a slot one motherboard. But I thought it would be too much to include these in this article ;-)

The first hard drive in my house was a 5MB drive for my mom. I was only 8 at the time... and wanted my own hard drive so badly! I was 9 when dad finally got me a Seagate 20MB for the 8088 I was using! Such fond memories.
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" -- Isaac Asimov

I guess I am the real "Old Man" I still remember using a casette tape on my COCO 2. When I bought it the guy at radio shack told me "16k of ram is more than I will ever need" No that is not a type-o it was 16k.

Perhaps someone here can help me or tell me where I should look.
My Gigabyte motherboard has a 2 x 5 HD Audio Header, but my Lian Li case does not have a front panel headphone jack.
All I really want to add to the front panel is a headphone jack, and it would be easy to drill a hole in one of the empty 3.25 inch bays, so I'm really not interested in something that adds a whole bunch of other ports.
So, does anyone know where I could acquire a 2 x 5 jack wired for HD Audio and connected to a 3.25 mm stereo jack?
Or does anyone know what I should be searching for to get what I want. I have tried various things with no success.
Thank you for your help.

Assuming you haven't found it by now, you should be able to find a port device for a 3.5" or 5.25" drive bay @ newegg.com or tigerdirect.com. Actually, it should take you about 10 seconds with a quick Google search to find one.
