My case which ive had a few years now is a Antec 900-2 and the front usb connectors are USB2 i believe,recently ive upgraded my motherboard and its a USB3 model but also has USB2 which im currently using but would like to make use of the USB3 function,whats the easiest way of updating the front ports to USB3 without buying a new case ?
Adding USB3 to a USB2 case ?

ok hit a slight bump with regard to either of those suggestions,now ive had time to look over my new mobo ive discovered the USB3 ports are next to the drivebays so have a feeling the internal adaptor cable wont reach the ports, i have no spare space to add the 3.5 Hub
