Since i am going to buy the converter kit so that it takes from my internal USB port, and that it would hook to the serial connection... what i was wondering is if the BVK202A-4BR-BK comes with the altered serial conection? and if so then if i was to have it the way i wanted it, would i have to buy the VFD and bracket seperatly? Thanks for all your help!

where do they have this USB to serial converter that you are going to use?

I bet you can pick one up at a local computer store for like half the price...

you get a 1ft serial cable with -4BR cable... so all you would do is use the Serial to USB out side instead of the 1ft cable, it would definetly be a nice solution...

That would defeat the purpose of using an external USB 2.0 plug, but use the internal USB and not have to use a slot... well thanks for your help i know what to expect, and i might have to buy it seperatly so i can use the internal meathod.
Thanks for all your help

but you don't have to use the internal, the -4BR cable will get you to the outside and then ust loop the Serial to USB cable on the out side...

It uses one of my PCI slots on my case, which i guess is ok but i might just get a nibler and make a nice square cut, but for now (since i dont have the cash) the outside is fine.... thanks!
I think i got it yesterday, but i am not sure.
