| 69366 | 2002-08-08 07:48:00 | Hi There I'm building the new beast, and want USB ports on the front panel. My motherboard has the connectors in the right place, but the nice noo case has no front panel USB ports. Duz anyone know where/if you can buy/procure/burgle them???, say, to fit a 3.5" of 5.25" bay hole?? Any comments welcome. Steve |

| 69367 | 2002-08-09 04:43:00 | There may be other options, but have a look at the Kanguru product range as a possibility: www.kanguru.com This one has a flat front, but my leetle grey cells say that I have seen a more elaborate curved insert for a front panel that includes usb connectors and other assorted goodies. Darned if I can find it though... John |

| 69370 | 2002-08-09 07:06:00 | It would be easy enough to drill and file holes for the connectors in the disk hole blanking panels. I'd do that rather than pay $64. But I'm mean.;\ And I've got drills and files. I haven't got any computers that modern, so I don't need to ;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
