need a usb port?

I have the gigabyte ga-z77x-ud5h motherboard. I came with the WiFi and Bluetooth feature. The WiFi works fine and I just figured out why the Bluetooth isn't working. It needs to plugged in via usb port. Only problem is, there seems to be only two usb 2.0 ports on the motherboard which are being used by the case. There is a f-1394 port which looks like the usb port, but I read your not suppose to use that for usb plugs. So am I out of luck of using the Bluetooth without unplugging my other usb ports?
 
Is it just a bluetooth adapter? If so, then just get a USB add-in card or a USB hub.
 
its not a usb plug like for standard peripherals.
this is the cord
The top plugs into the bluetooth card, and the bottom plugs into a usb port on the motherboard.

 
Then just use 1 USB header for the front panel. Why do you need that many on the front?
 
1394 is for Firewire.

It looks like you're a bit limited on that board, You'll probably have to compromise by just using one header for the front USB ports as stated above.

IIRC some of the USB add-on cards also have room for another header, but you may have to shop around.
