3.5" and 5.25" USB-C front panels - eviltoast

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!

    Link isn’t loading for me (spotty wifi) but AliExpress stock m.2 to both a single 3.1 (blue) and E on the one board. Personally I wouldn’t be dropping an m.2 for one but I guess the option is there for those who need.
