Anybody know where I can get one of these USB extension cables?

Man, I found one place on line, but their checkout does not work.

I'm looking for this USB cable extension:

What I'm trying to accomplish is adding some front USB connectors to my old case. Most new cases already come with USB connectors on the front. I'm cheap and want to keep my old InWin full tower case, but want to add some connectors on the front (case mod).

I have one of these:

that normally comes with a new mobo that allows you to connect it from the rear, but the cable is only 8 inches or so.

Worse comes to worse, if you or someone you know knows how to solder electical wires, you can cut the harness and splice in longer wires.

Might also be easier just to find a longer harness.

I did the solder trick to extend the cables on my PC, had the same problem, works fine.

OK thanks guys. Yeah, I know how to solder, but I'm lazy and wanted a cable to extend it. I think I just might do that considering the extension cable is $25.
