Any Cases With Front-Facing Expansion Slots?

Posted by timothy on from the facing-forward dept.

owenferguson asks: "I'm sick and bloody tired of futzing around with ports (USB, sound, video, firewire, serial) that come out of the back of my mid-tower case. Does anyone know of a case that allows you to mount the motherboard 'backwards,' that is, with the expansion slots and various ports situated beneath the drive bays, facing foreward? I'm planning to build one myself, but if there's one already on the market, I'll probably just buy it."

    You can buy a case with some of that stuff on the front. I'm currently choosing parts to build a new PC, and I saw some cases like that a few days agi. Picture. This one has audio ports, volume knob, game port, 2x USB, and firewire ports on the front. Products. More info.

    Of course, I've never bought one of these cases, so I can't endorse them.

    Sorry for the anonymous post. Slashdot seems to have lost my old password and is refusing to mail me the new one.

    Why don't you just turn your case around?
