Case with firewire ports in front?

[alexruiz]

I am upgrading my comp, and the parts for the new parts are already in transit. I have almost everything except the new case (the old case is ugly, and using it means downtime also). I am looking for something decent looking, not very expensive, PS not a concern (I have a spare one)

The only requirement is that it should have front ports (USB and audio are common). However, in addition to the standard, it MUST have a firewire port in the front.

In the cases that I have seen, the ports are located at the bottom

Do you know of a case that has the front header in a more reasonable location? In case there is none, or if it is too expensive, I will have to go with a case that has the ports at the bottom.

Make your suggestions!

Thanks

Alex

Antec 1080 has firewire ports up front. I'm in a hurry, so I just read the subject line.

Skyhawk Jupiter

All aluminum, has earphones, mic, 2 USB, and a firewire port in front. 4 5.25" bays, 6 3.5" bays (4 hidden). There's about a cm between each of the HDD bays and a case fan mounted in front of them, so your HDDs stay nice and cool. You can order it without a PS - saves shipping weight, plus you don't have to pay for a crappy PS you're not gonna use. The front ports are on the bottom though. There's even a little LCD window with a temp probe and other info on it. $63@ directron. I got one of these, but half my PC components are out for RMA so I can't test it yet .

Only thing that sucks about this one though, is that the PSU is mounted upside down . You could just do what I did and drill holes to make it fit the right way - or if your PSU doesn't have any fans mounted on the bottom, this isn't an issue.


Edit Whoops, it's discontinued on that site There might be one available somewhere else though, I got mine probably about a month - month and a half ago...

Edit #2 Here's another one
This one has many of the same specs as the one I listed, but has a motorized sliding door also....

Well, I finally got the case, and this is what I got:

Super Talent 2029 acrylic blue

I guess it is the same that the Chyang fun that newegg had on sale a few days back (me hits head against the wall ) The layout also looks awfully familiar with the AMS cases, but those are nicer and more expensive (automotive finish in the painting)

If it is indeed the same as the AMS (all of them share the model number 2029) then the USB ports connect to the motherboard header, same as the audio ports. Firewire is pass through (better in my opinion)

No antec, but the ports location is a big plus. I don't think it should be that flimsy either, as the baby weighs a healthy 10 kg..... shipping was on the expensive side ($21) but oh well, I made the decision
