I am looking for a 5.25" bay "all-in-one" device that can read CF cards, has a few USB ports (3.0 would be great but 2.0 is okay), has firewire port, and audio ports.
I currently have a nMediapc ZE-C98 which worked fine for about a year but then the CF card reader stopped working. Turns out one of the pins is bent and so that's that. Then, the USB ports are acting funny because whenever I plug in my USB Flash drive, it asks whether I want to "format" it!! This is a drive that has worked fine all this time and all of a sudden the device doesn't recognize it. The Firewire port in it also doesn't work any more. It's all connected properly to the MoBo so I don't know what's wrong. nMediapc is a really cheap device (~$25) so I would prefer not to get the same device. It has lasted for only about a year. The ports on it are great though and that is what I want. That one even had an eSata port but I never used it.
The following ports are a must:
1.) CF card reader
2.) 3+ USB ports
3.) IEEE 1394 FireWire port
4.) Audio ports (headphones and microphone)
What is the best one to get? Is there a really reliable brand that anyone can recommend? Does Lian Li make an "all-in-one" with those ports?
