Front Usb

[Livy]

ive just ordered up all my new pc. everything is gonna be new, apart from my hdd and cd-rw which im stealin from my old pc, as the hdd is only a few months old, 80gb maxtor,

the thing is the case doesnt have front usb one it, but the board does support it, i was wondering what i could do, i have seen one that has audio connectors that fits in the 5.25" bay, but if iut was in a bay i would prefer it to be the 3.5" one.
if i cant get one of them, is it easy to get hold of the front usb port istelf and make a hole for it?

Soyo makes a nifty 3.5" bay unit that has USB, Firewire AND smartcard reader ports.
The adaptors that mount into PCI slots in the back are pretty inexpensive also...you could get one of those and rig it up in the front.

kinda looks like what im after i found one on ebuyer for £15.

but i was more really just looking for the usb plugs with the header on them to attach to the motherboard. as it does have the header for 2 of them. and just cut a bit in the case if possible,

the chieftec ones is almost exactly what im looking for, i would prefer it without the firwire ports, and only 2 usb. has anyoe seem one like that anywhere?
