It seems I have underestimated the number of internal USB channels I need for my new rig. I need four more channels (two more 9-pin headers), and there seems to be a plethora of USB 3.0 expansion cards, but where are the 2.0 cards? If anyone has any leads, please reply. If you're wondering why I have so many USB needs, I have two Corsair Link devices, five USB ports on the front panel, a 3.5" USB/card reader in a front tray (2 USB channels), and a bluetooth card that uses a USB interface. That puts me at 8/4 channels... Right now, it seems my only choice is to get a USB 3.0 header card and modify my peripherals' cables to connect to it.

My rig:

Spoiler

Core i7-5820k

32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3000

ASRock X99 Extreme4

Sapphire R9 390 Nitro

Corsair RM850i

A fair amount of duct tape

If it's just for simple control and things like Corsair link NZXT makes an expansion board which will work well for that:
