Replacing the front side USB ports

[aCynic2]

I accidentally broke one of the ports and want to replace it. Is this possible? Does anyone sell the dual ports?

Ports on what? case, notebook, motherboard pins?

For a case you could get one of those floppy bay card readers that has 1-2 USB ports.

You will have to know the exact dimensions to replace it.

The simple solution is a 5.25 bay adapter - cheap and easy to install.

I like that. I'm trying to find a black one though.

Try some black (flat) plastic model spray. Works great!

I'll give it a shot when I finish the basement waterproofing and get a bench built.

Look around the usual sites. There's many black units to choose from.

Last time I checked, Newegg.com had at least twenty different models of I/O bay devices. Probably more now.
