Sean, I'm also looking for these items, I'm reviewing the board at the moment, and its one of the few areas that I've found so far that was a minus point.
4x USB on a flagship board is enough to put many people off.
I have a USB keyboard and mouse, and my front panel and card reader use the other two, then theres my external hard drives..you can see where I'm going here.
Yes, we can buy a PCI plate from maplins, yes, I could buy a USB hub from anywhere, but really, on a flagship motherboard, we shouldnt have to, especially when you look at the bundles that other manufacturers give at a similar (or lower) price point.
Just my 10p's worth
