    3xs & USB? - pre sales enquiry

    I'm considering a 3xs Audio Creation System (Silverstone).
    Was looking at a Feb review in SoS and the machine in there included 12 USB and 2 Firewire ports.

    The current updated Audio Creation system (as far as I can tell) has only 2 Firewire ports - I really needed the USB ports to connect the peripherals in my studio into my DAW.

    Do I now have to pay extra to get the USB ports or are they there and I'm just reading the spec wrong?

    Thanks
    Ping.

    3 firewire, 10 USB based on the fact that the MOBO is the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P http://www.scan.co.uk/product.aspx?ProductID=28145

    sorry I'm new to this - It is included or isn't?
    thanks
    I'm not sure from your reply if you're suggesting an alternative board.

    Hi,

    Taktak's link is the board that comes fitted in the machine. The original spec had a Gigabyte UD4 motherboard which has recently been discontinued by Gigabyte. The replacement board on the spec is the UD4P which has 8 Usb and 1 Firewire on the back pannel. The are more headers inside the machine to which we normally attach the front panel connectors on the case.

    In total this board may have upto 12 USB & 3 Firewire connections depending upon the case chosen. It will have a minimum of 8 USB and 2 Firewire regardless through whichever spec you go for.
