| 608075 | 2007-11-04 23:46:00 | Myself and a friend of mine made one of these for his PC which had no front USB ports. We simply took a spare 3.5" plastic blanking plate and the adaptor supplied with the motherboard to extend the onboard USB header to the rear pci slots. With a bit of carefull cutting and drilling the two usb connectors fit quite nicely onto the blanking plate and there you go. |

Why not just buy the computer with the number os ports you want? |

Why not just buy the computer with the number os ports you want? well that's ridiculous, would you buy a whole new pc just to get front USB access when you can fix the one you already have for free? and it really wasn't much trouble, took about an hour. The point was he already had a pc, assembled from various 2nd hand parts on the cheap and had a need for front USB ports which his case had no provision for. So we made our own, problem solved. |
