PC Cases w/Firewire Cables

[cfm411]

Knowing that there is no standard when it comes to front firewire connectors and motherboard connectors, what are the names of PC case manufactures that provide cables with their cases to connector the front firewire plug to a motherboard?

Enermax and Enlight case have a front connector for USB and Firewire but only provide the cable connection to the USB ports. They suggest a Frontx add-on, which makes me wonder why the provide a front connector if there is no cable? Enermax sell a 5 1/4 panel with a firewire plug but the cable has to connect to the back firewire connector.

thanks for your comments

Anyone know where i can get a hold of firewire cable (with connector) only? I have a case with space to install firewire but it doesn't come with one. thanks

I should also add that, being an Antec knock-off, it would be safe to say that Antec cases also include the cable.

Yes they do. I have a Antec 1040 and it has the cables too connect up to the MB.

Thanks to all responses, I'll check out the Antec case.

What seems interesting to me is that the manufacture web sites don't seem to indicate if a cable is supplied, only that there is a front firewire connector. I find that strange given their intent is to convince you their product is the best!

Personally, if connectors are provided in the front, they should at least provide some means of using them, either as part of the case or as accessories or through a third party.

thanks to all
