Ok I did some experimenting today I hack a usb extension wire so i can
connect a flashdrive to the internal usb input located on the motherboard
basically My motherboard have a usb 1 and usb 2 input to plug in devices like
a card reader..etc. Well I hack a usb extension wire so i can connect a
flashdrive to the internal usb 2 input located in the motherboard basically I
want the usb flashdrive(use for readyboost) to be hidden inside the computer
case. I took apart the flash drive and put in a small heatsink and place it
to the fan intake. It's working fine although I would like to know if this is
ok to do? Is the usb input found in motherboard only for device with power
connection that plug to Power Supply or does it work the same way as plugging
it in the external usb input

You are fine. I have done the same upon occasion.
