Help
Ok back when I built my computer (about a year ago) I made one small mistake. The case has 4 USB ports but my Mother board only supports 2. This is starting to bug me so I want to know is there an expansion card that preferably goes in the PCI Express port since I have 2 but don't use ether of them.

Yes, there are PCI-E to USB boards that you can purchase. Try looking at Newegg and Tiger Direct.

for the NZXT IU01 how does it connect? to me it looks like it uses on e of the USB header pins but if thats the case what is it fixed to? to me it looks like it just hangs in the case by the wires.

The board has an adhesive back with which it can be fastened inside the case.

Make sure you put it, where you want it, because when it's stuck, it's stuck. 
Clean the area, where you want to adhere it, with some rubbing alcohol, first.
