    I/O Panels and Cases

    I just wondered if anyone could recommend a case/chassis that has a built in I/O panel at the bottom of the front panel. All of the cases I like seem to have them at the top which I find annoying when I have mp3 players and cameras etc plugged into them.

    I want a case like the Antec 300 or Coolermaster CM 690 also some of the Lian Li cases look OK but all have I/O panels at the top. I want a very basic/plain-looking, even slightly industrial-looking case like the ones I mention above.

    (maybe a case that has a 3.5" slot at the bottom - but I would need two, one for a built-in flash card reader too)

    Thanks

    You could get something like a 900, which allows you to place the Hard disks where you want (in removable bays), so you could have the hard disks at the top, and then a DVD drive and this or this at the bottom, which has a whole array of ports, or use the 5 1/4 to 3.5" convertor which comes with the case to house a similar device such as this:http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/AKASA...nc-White-front

    Thanks Will404!

    Very helpfull - I'll look into those options.

    The 900 is a little more expensive than I hoped to pay but it's a very nice case!


    Thanks again.

    I am sure that there are other cases with similar designs
