I got a kit from FrontX which is really flexible. I got Audio connectors, USB and FIrewire (connecting directly to the headers on the Mobo) and a gameport connector. It was delivered amazingly quickly, and no additional taxes as you can ask them to mark it as a sample with no monetary value.

Go to the web store. Worth a look anyway.

I doubt any Front-X type of panel will upgrade you to USB2 as they are just connectors. For USB2 you would have to use a USB2 hub pci card (some of which may also have headers(pins) for the front panel connectors). You will also need to be running Windows Xp or 2000 as I believe the older versions don't support USB2, not sure of the which versions of Linux support USB2 and which don't. Here's some examples of the type of USB2 cards I mean:
