Weird things can happen when you're bored...you could find yourself cutting holes in the front of your case...as I just did. I (almost) installed two USB ports in the front of this thing. Here's the pics.

It took about 3 hours, and I'm not even done yet. I cut the holes in the front using a drill and a utility knife...the over-sized, jagged hole in the case was cut using tin snips. I wasn't going to break out the dremel when my system is still inside it. The ports aren't attached to the front yet...my tube of contact cement is all dried up. My motherboard, an MSI 694D, has a connector for one USB port up front, so I'm thinking of getting a tiny 2-port hub to split it up...or stick with one port. I'm not going to run a cable to my existing ports...the point of this is to get more ports...not move them. If all this fails, I'll have a couple pretty little holes in my case. If anyone has any other ideas to hook these suckers up, please let me know.
