I am considering buying the Antec performance plus 1080 server case for my new gaming machine. Is there an equivalent Chieftec case, or other cheaper, that comes with USB built into the front of the case? I looked, but I didn't see any. Someone told me you have to buy a separate USB kit and then you could build it in, but I don't want to do that, I'm too lazy.

Chieftec cases dont come with the True power supply, which is 430w on the antec and 400w Deer (low end) on the chieftec.

With four 5.25" bays to work with, you could pick up a front-USB outlet that goes in one of the 5.25" bays. There are lots to choose from. This would keep you from closing the door when something's plugged in, of course. :(

I didn't think about the power supply being different, that's a good point. I think I'll be fine then with the Antec 1080 430W w/USB on the front of the case, thanks.
