Does this case really have USB 3.0?

Newegg claims it does, but the pictures of the wires inside don't show the blue cable with the blue 20-pin header on the end. Nor does it show a pair of separate USB3.0 'A' connectors that loop around the back.

The case looks decent, for $20 + ship, but the one pic of the right-hand side where the USB plugs are, leaves me unconvinced.

Edit: Nevermind. Reviews say it does not have USB3.0. Sigh. Would have been a cheap solution.
 
I give up on front panel USB 3.0. It seems I always get defective 3.0 front ports that can't drive my backup 3.0 external drives.

Not necessarily defective. Maybe the front ports just aren't designed to be used for recharging or powering external hard disks that don't use external power.

Well, they don't use USB power.. they get power from the wall since they are 3.5" Drives. Anything USB 2.0 works in the 3.0 ports though, including my 2.0 external drive. I thought it was a bad cable but it worked fine on my 500r case and in the rear ports.
