A usb query about the Nebula system.

[GGizmo]

Hi,

I recently bought the: Nebula - Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.7GHz Overclocked Watercooled Extreme Gaming PC.

It's all setup and running great.

The only thing I'm a little surprised about is the lack of usb slots on the front or sides, unless I'm missing something?

Is this normal for systems these days to only have usb plugs at the back?

If so, what kind of usb hub do you recommend so I can attach at the back and bring them to the front?

Thanks.

I think it comes down to the case? My old pc had much more USB slots at the front than my new one (only has 2 now).

Something like:

should fit the bill - as the case you have only has 5.25" external bays, and uses internal USB cables that connect direct to the motherboard headers (rather than plugging in to the rear ports)

USB ports are on the top near the front

Yes, thats the case I have.

Where are the ports? Are they the 2 button-like things? They seem to have rubber on. Do the rubbers pull off?

I'm not used to a usb port having a protector on

You pull the rubber's off

Ahh I see

It's a very good case. The last computer I had was over 8 years old. It seems a lot as changed since then!
