  I peeled the plastic logo off the front of my computer and discovered a
couple rectagonal holes where female USB A connectors could go.  The
mainboard has USB headers to connect to front panel USB connectors.  I would
like to locate suppliers of the female USB A connectors that case
manufacturers use so I can install a couple and connect them to the
mainboard.  Does anyone know of such suppliers?  TIA.

 You would need to get a bracket made specifically for the box you have.
Another alternative would be a drive bay unit made with USB ports with cable
to header. Tigerdirect.com has some:

 If you look at the site Paul refers to, and look at the panel mount cables.
Those are pretty standard, but depending upon the case manufacturer, there
will be a bracket that it needs, for your particular case
