What would you do?

The mobod i really like does not have an internal pin connector for a 1394 plug on my case.  My case has a 1394 connector and a cable but the cable has a 9 pin female connector.  I have checked on using an add on pci card but can't seem to find any.  They only seem to have the standard 1394a connector.  Maybe I should just look at another board but I really like the board because of its rating and its features.  Are there any adapters that would work?

If you don't have any firewire devices, then I would just not connect up the front port like I don't have my front port audio connections connected. If you want to use firewire, then there are 1394a to 1394b adapters. Just do a search on Google or at Newegg.com to see what is out there.

I have found that just using another board will just be best.  It is the gigabyte board ga-m57sli s4 which is a pretty good board.
