Does such a case exist?

[Steve]

I'm looking for a case that has four front USB ports. I'd prefer if it was the standard shade of beige, the smaller the better, and either a good PSU in it or none at all. Any suggestions?

Newegg allows you to search by # of front usb ports.

There are things to put in a 3,5" slot that give you more front connectors. Just get the case you like and get one of these.

Already did that, saw nothing I really liked.


Nickel020, good idea I never thought of. Someone else mentioned a similar idea (but for the 5.25" bays) in another forum. I think I'll do either your or his idea.

I think the CoolerMaster stacker has like 6, but I am not 100%

Cooler Master Stacker has indeed 6 front USB ports. I absolutely love this case.

I second that. However the Stacker is more than likely overkill for your needs...

thats a weird way to pick a case. why 4? you can always get a hub or ext cords.

A bigger limitation is that you will need a MOBO w/ 4 internal connecotrs for Front USB. Not sure all, or even most have that many. But I am sure there are some. unless you want to reroute from the back to the front I suggest getting an internal hub, not just a redirector.

I've got an old micro-ATX board with headers for four front USB 2.0 ports. I'd like as small a case as possible, and people have mentioned getting a front drive bay bracket for these ports. I may go that route instead.

My LianLi PC61b has 4 front USB. Frankly, I have only used 1 front usb at a time.

from what i've seen off new egg the cases with more that 2 USB aren't all that great, i think they lack in other area's, and with the motherboard limitaion i would suggest a hub, also don't get a case too small, my friend got one and we couldn't use the lower 5.25 bays because the drives were too long and bumped the mobo, ill try to get a link

here it is

Go to newegg and look at cases made by Silverstone.

Almost all of their tower cases have 4 front USB ports

EDIT: Ooops, except they are not small, or beige. Sorry

-D'oh!

Micro Tower Case with 300W Power Supply (Black/Silver), Model "A301BS.Q300"
This $36 mATX case (in black and beige) was available at one time from Newegg with four front USB ports (I bought one). I've checked at the manufacturer's site and apparently they sell to resellers whatever the reseller requests for front ports. Currently Newegg has the ones with two USB and audio ports. Directron sells the same case with only two USB ports and no audio for $25. You may be able to find the beige model with 4 ports... somewhere. At least it is an available option from the manufacturer.

I have the lian li pc65, and mine has 4.
Quite useful. I often use all 4 at a time, along with the two on back of my case, and the other two on my Dell 2001FP
