Need firewire on my Dimension 9100 that did not come with it...
What can I do besides using one of the PCI card slots? Can I get the front of the computer to access the firewire as it does on certain 9100's that had this feature? Also, does anyone have a recommendation of a 3.5" bay slot that can give me firewire in the front of the computer and how does that exactly work? Thanks in advance.

As Fireberd suggests, your only option is a PCI firewire card.
You could then use any of the many different 3.5" +/or 5.25" multimedia/multi-function panels available :emotion-55:
Newegg offer page upon page of them :emotion-21:

Not much you can do except install a PCI firewire card. If you want "front panel" firewire port access, the easiest way is to get a firewire extension cable and route it to the PC front or the desktop and then you will have "up front" access.
