Hello, I have a bit of a problem. My motherboard (Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H) has 6 USB ports (4 2.0's, 2 3.0's) but my case (Rosewill FBM-02) only has 2 USB ports. Is it possible to use all of my ports somehow? (I have to plug in my headset, my keyboard, mouse, and extra stuff whenever I need to). Thank you!

Of course. The ones at the back of the case on the m/b are always active. The ones on the front of the case simply need their cable plugged into the USB2.0 header on the m/b. If your USB3.0 ports on the back are not active, it may be because you didn't install the driver for them.
