so I want to install 2 USB ports in my cab but dont know what to use for ports. I wanted to use a USB extension cable with the PCI card metal thing, not the card one but the cables that end up at the metal you get to place in the space a card would be. but i dont know what the name is so I can find it.

I'm using these Neutrik USB ports in my build:

Search for USB Header Plate. or USB Back plate. Bear in mind you must have the connections on your motherboard for it to plug into. I personally used the Neutrik ports as shown above.

Check here (http://www.amazon.com/2-Port-Rear-Panel-Bracket-Adapter/dp/B002IWEDSS/) for USB rear panel brackets.
+1 on using the Neutrik feedthrus -- very easy to install.

I just picked up a pair of these:

and front-mounted them on my cabinet.
Pair of them cost me a whopping $6, including shipping. Couldn't go wrong at that price...

Tiger Direct has a nice little 4 port setup for $2.99 right now that would work just remove the mounting plate and use the 3 screws to mount -- ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3949897&CatId=511 (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3949897&CatId=511) )

It is a very good deal if you have a retail location near you (like we do here in El Paso, TX.) - Not so good if you have to pay the shipping (+\- $4) which is more than the sale price unless you are ordering other items as well !
