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!
A panel with only USB-Cs would be classy, but they don’t seem to be around…
There are panel/bracket mounted Type-E to USB-C connectors, so it shouldn’t be hard to attach some to a 3D printed 3.5" panel. The hard part is getting enough internal Type-E ports, ideally with USB-PD.
A clever solution! But yeah, the board connectors don’t seem to be too numerous…
Edit. I’m really leaning towards just ordering a couple of these Type-E to USB-C cables and just drilling them into the 5.25 cover panel.
