These connectors are NOT standard.  You should be able to order the
right one from ECS.

I downloaded the manual from their website, and it fully documents where
the USB internal connctors are, and what the pins go to.  If you're up
for a little fun, you might even be able to spit the cable from the one
on the old motherboard and match up the wires.
