    Antec Nine Hundred with USB 3.0 question

    I am having an older Antec Nine Hundread Case that has usb 2.0 ports. I came to know that the new Antec 900 cases are coming with Usb 3.0 ports on the front side. So, I was planning to upgrade from the usb 2.0 ports to the new 3.0 ports. For this can anyone tell me what all things will I require to attain this upgrade? Thanks

    You will need to buy a complete new motherboard that comes with the USB 3.0 port onboard. You might even need to buy a USB 3.0 card reader or else you can just go with the USB 3.0 bay device. Incase you have purchased the USB 3.0 bay device then you should be aware that new mobos just have 1 usb 3.0 header and you will require 2 usb front panel ports for every header.

    If you want then you can also try to run a USB 3.0 external hub from the motherboards I/O that is located in the back of the pc. In most of the cases when you look at the bottom of the motherboard beside where you plug the power and reset button, there you will be able to see the usb connections for your case. Hope this gives you some sort of idea on how to connect to the usb 3.0 ports.

    Even the new Antec Nine Hundred case is a quite old design wise. So it will be best if you can go with some the new computer case like the Antec 1100 or the Antec 302 case that have more room at their back side and gradually have better layout. Most of the upgraded cases usually come with replaced front I/O with a new panel that has the USB 3.0 connectors.
