    Hardware search - looking for front USB box

    It seems that this thing is unavailable EVERYWHERE, and I am looking to get one for my wife's PC. Yea, I am anal and need it in beige, even if its impossible to find.

    Looking for a beige USB front breakout box as shown in the link above. If you can find it online, please hook a brother up with a link. May the google Force be with you, as every etailer that shows it does not in fact stock it. I think I found it on the Buy.com Canada site, but they do not ship to the US.

    Only find it in Black... and this includes Ebay.

      Yea, that's what I've found as well. TigerDirect has something similar, but only 2 USB ports and thats IT ! I really do fixate on what I want instead of settling for an alternative, so I'll keep looking.

        Could you paint it?

          I'm looking for something similar actually, except external... to sit under my monitor.




          I'm not insane. I'm just overwhelming!

            I've thought of painting it, but the general consensus is that you can't go from black to beige without some color irregularities/issues cropping up. Taping that sucker off would be a VERRRRY tedious job, and I am just not skilled enough to attempt it.
            This search is starting to tick me off, and I've already picked out another entire case (I was going to buy this in February) but since its the wife's PC, it usually gets delayed. The current case is an old Antec SX830 and for her (and me), its fine except for missing front USB.

              You would need to paint it white first and then beige. And it would need multiple coats. Then finished with a clear coat to protect it.

                  BINGO !!!! Chef, I did a thorough search on the Egg and did NOT notice this model .. it looks very much like the Koutech FPM421 unit (notice the name similarities?).

                  I think that is a winner !! Thanks again .. ordering tonight. I knew you guys would dig up a suitable choice !!

                  Edit: Ordered it now, no time like the present !!

                        Sirex should be able to recover his log in and change the password. He would then login and change the password.
