I'm looking to expand my computer. However, the only ports left inside are
black one inch slots. What is it, what kind of card fits in there?
I want to add more slots (USB, eSATA, etc.) to the external of my computer.
Can I get a card to do this using these "ports?"
Thanks.

Sounds like an SD card slot

Sorry - didn't read the post properly - thought you were talking about a
laptop. There won't be an SD card slot on a motherboard *inside* a
computer!! My mistake!

I wish there were a few. It'd be a nice feature to build a
paralleled I/O flash controller into a board chipset then
instead of pricey SSDs, just stick a few SDHC cards in
slots. You can already rig up something like that with
adapters, but the price would lower if it were already
integrated.
