i found a a FAQs at Antec, that said that a particular wire on the cases's USB connector had to be disconnected as follows:

What is the typical pin configuration of the Antec USB connector?

The Antec USB connector follows the Intel standard layout. Majority of the motherboards follow the same standard as well. Intel Standard 10pin Layout

Pin 1 = Power Pin 2 = Power
Pin 3 = Data - Pin 4 = Data -
Pin 5 = Data + Pin 6 = Data +
Pin 7 = Ground Pin 8 = Ground
Pin 9 = Key or Blocked pin Pin 10 = Ground

Warning: If your motherboard contains a USB pin labeled OC or NC, make sure that no wire goes to it. You can lift the black tab and pull the wire out or simply clip the wire going to it. The pin for it is usually in pin 10. When a wire is connected to OC or NC, all the USB ports can stop working, the system can automatically shut down, or the secondary IDE is disabled.

Figuring that this might account for some problems that I have been having for a long time, I pulled the wire. So far, everything seems okay, but it will have to stand the test of time. I'm still trying to figure out the last sentence, regarding secondary IDE, but I assume that would mean my CD/DVD drives. Mice and drives have both been problems, I hope that this is a fix.

Considering the number of posts that I have read concerning similar problems, and the number of people using Antec cases, I thought that this might be of some use to someone else.
