Been looking for a card reader expansion for an upcoming build and the best I've found so far for me is the Silverstone Sst-RP59 5.25" adapter, @£35 on the rainforest but OC a couple of pretty all encompassing from Arkasa and IcyBox

In card readers it's better to try to find reader with CF slot being deeper, if you use that.
Those with short bare centimeter deep slot allow card to touch contacts early, which can lead to contacts being bent.
Deeper slot makes sure card is properly aligned before it touches contacts.
Just not sure if any 5.25" bay reader has such CF slot.

If that isn't important USB panels are easy to find, with for example Akasa having many of them.
With InterConnect GX (AK-HC-11BK) also having USB-C connector
