Case with built-in SD Reader

Still trying to decide on a case. While not an absolute requirement, I'd really like one with a built-in card reader. About the only ones I've found are the Cooler Master Silencio cases:

Other than one feature, I'm not sure this specific case does much for me one way or another. Has anyone used one? Are there any other cases out there that I'm missing? I'm still pretty flexible, thinking of anything mid-tower size or smaller.

I can always go with one I can mount in a card bay (I have a 3.5 in reader now), or an external reader (my least favorite option), but I can't possibly be the only person looking for this feature. I haven't looked for a new case for over ten years and I guess I just assumed there would be more choices.

(As an aside, the current trend of cases without any drive bays makes this even more difficult. Maybe I'm just an old fogey now but I just don't get it.)

Rare to see built in on mid tower case. Very easy to add to your favorite case

Ha, yeah, I guess I'm just venting a bit. Doesn't seem like it would be any harder to include one built in than it would a USB or Headphone port.

Yeah, thanks. I did see that one but it's a bit giant for what I need (nice looking case though). I'm really looking mid-tower or smaller (haven't picked the MoBo yet so I'm a little flexible). From the things I've read, is that a full tower?

Sure it would. It requires an extra chip, capacitors, and either uses up a USB port, or requires adding a hub (though, some reader chips probably implement hubs). Front USB or headphone just requires the connectors. Yet, most people that buy the case will never use it, if they include it, or they'll want a better one.
