I have a huge computer, and the USB, flash drives, mike and headphone inputs are on top. Every time I have to plug something in I have to stand up to see what I'm doing.
I'm primarily interested in USB inputs and was wondering if there's a panel that will fit in a disc drive bay so I can plug in from the front. I have 5 drive bays and 2 are still empty.

Yeah, they make 'em, here's one example Rolex.

Do you have a 3.5 Drive bay or just 5.25??

Is this what you are talking about. or Something Like it.

It's good to have to stand up once in awhile.

Yeah, but I also have to turn on a ceiling light to see what I'm doing. It's always been annoying.
The one @HPIguy posted is perfect. It's the floppy size in the CD tray frame. Just a push of a button and the door will open for the extra USB ports.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

No problem

This is it, this is perfect...

Make sure that you know how it connects to the computer (USB plug, mother board header pins, etc.) before you buy. The one you pictured there @Rolex is a Superspeed USB 3.0 hub.

Thanks for that heads up, @hamz9561 . I have a 3.0 on top but that's not what I need. I need 2.0 for game controllers, GPS chargers and updates, etc.

This one does both USB 3 and 2.

The Model number is 9SIA50M2KT5663 it is sold thru Newegg for about $16.

Well, one link led to another and here's what I came up with:

It will fit in a drive bay and will sit behind a flip out door in my computer. (Below)

Found it at Amazon for $17.00. ALL 2.0 hubs. I still have a 3.0 on top.

 

[HPIguy]

You don't have USB 3.0? Next thing you'll tell me is your bits are being delivered via pony express.

I have a 3.0 on top, but everything I need is for 2.0. Certain upgrades might be needed for some of my peripherals and might not be available or upgradable, from what I understand.
Amazon also choked me with almost $9 shipping.
