AndrewZorn Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I was going to install my FrontX the other day for USB ports and realized it doesn't even HAVE USB ports. Did I get jipped? They say 'cusomizable', but there isn't even enough equipment to fill it up! I know I didn't lose anything because I haven't opened the box until today. And I covered the USBs on the top of my case with my watercooling, and I have none on the front, and my keyboard/monitor is USB 1.1. So flashdrives and whatnot are a pain. Input please.

caveman4810 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 They to not include USB's. At least mine didn't have any. Guess it's hub time off the back of the board or get another spiffy type of front panel that includes a USB port Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewZorn Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 i think ill get a hub/extension but whoever said "buy a new case" i dont see why you are compelled to leave negative information. i have a TSUNAMI i think ill keep it thanks. im not looking for some raidmax with a million pieces of junk taped to it.

I wasnt trying to be negative. My sincere apologies if I came across that way. The recommendation for a new case was based on the fact that most 'higher end' cases support front USB connectors, nothing else. i used to own a Thermaltake and find them to be close to top of the line cases. The Tsunami case is indeed very beautiful and very functional - except, unfortunately, in your case since you are not able to use the USB connectors due to your H2O cooling. The only negative thing I said was about the Front X Panel, which I, personally, find not very aesthetic. If you do, I completely respect your opinion. Like caveman4810's, my recommendation for a busbay drive was, I believe, rather constructive, as you have a busbay device now, except that it doesn't have USB conectors. Again, sorry if I came across negative. That was def not my intention! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landshark Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I just bought a Ultra D and mine did not come with a Front-X is that typical or do I need to call and have my board RMA'd for missing parts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
