3.5" and 5.25" USB-C front panels
3.5" and 5.25" USB-C front panels
There's nothing wrong with my old PC case, except I'd like some USB-Cs in the front panel.
The panel itself is unfortunately integrated, but it's possible to get additional front panels to 3.5" and 5.25" slots (the ones traditionally used for CDs etc). Here's one example from akasa with at least one USB-C: https://akasa.co.uk/search.php?seed=AK-ICR-36
It's perfectly fine if I have to just disconnect the integrated USB-A ports due to lack of motherboard connectors. They suck anyway.
So, please share recommendations for such devices. Let's not let those old cases go to waste!
You're viewing a single thread.
Do you have internal usb 3 ports, header? Where do you want to connect it to?
internal usb connectors look like these, you can see the cables on the akasa one you linked.
If you have a port inside, all of these things just a plastic box and some wires inside. Choose the cheapest one, or the one looks nice. If you don't have a port, the interesting part is the pcie-usb3 extension card
Yeah I do have the usb header. Connected to the case ports atm, but it's fine to replace that for the upcoming panel. I suppose that the standard header poses some limitations on what ports one can expect from these things.
FYI: These messages were "deleted by creator" so I attempted to clean them up, but that just changed the text to "Removed by mod". Guess I won't try that again.
I wish we had something like on Reddit where if you delete a post and it doesn't have any replies (and perhaps in the first 30s or so), it just disappears.
I'm guessing that the federated nature of Lemmy makes it difficult. To propagate the deletion to other instances etc.
