i think if your system does not have FRONT uSB ext. panel ports then buy a USB hub and atach it to back USB and cling it in front .. cost: 50/- or buy a front USB and attach it to mainboard and then drill your cab and place it in FRONT ... ( but it will not look good) or else buy a new cabby :D:D:D

I m having two slots and will hav to make holes in them.
When we buy a new mobile connection the SIM is attached to the card like holes and attached like that.
they will easily come out.
But the problem is that i dont knw where to put those conections on the motherboard.

wat wud the cost of front USB?

what r u talking about! i got myself 2 usb extension cables for rs10 each. its a 2m long cable. one end of it goes inside ur usb slot at the back of ur comp and the other end allows u to connect usb devices. u seriously think such a thing would sell for rs50. i could even tell u the shop from where i got it. its in nehru place new delhi
