There's nothing wrong with my old PC case, except I'd like some USB-Cs in the front panel.

The panel itself is unfortunately integrated, but it's possible to get additional front panels to 3.5" and 5.25" slots (the ones traditionally used for CDs etc). Here's one example from akasa with at least one USB-C: https://akasa.co.uk/search.php?seed=AK-ICR-36

It's perfectly fine if I have to just disconnect the integrated USB-A ports due to lack of motherboard connectors. They suck anyway.

So, please share recommendations for such devices. Let's not let those old cases go to waste!

FYI: These messages were "deleted by creator" so I attempted to clean them up, but that just changed the text to "Removed by mod". Guess I won't try that again.

I wish we had something like on Reddit where if you delete a post and it doesn't have any replies (and perhaps in the first 30s or so), it just disappears.

I'm guessing that the federated nature of Lemmy makes it difficult. To propagate the deletion to other instances etc.

This community is for discussing topics related to USB-C and USB-PD.

Primitive connectors like USB-A and Micro USB are not offtopic, but may elicit a smug sense of superiority.
