It's hard to tell from the single picture and it doesn't help that the case specs are not listed. It *looks* like there aren't any. If you already bought it, you'll just have to wait and see.

I would wait until the case is delivered to see what options it actually has. USB ports can be added, but unless you are really good with hand tools, I really wouldn't suggest cutting holes in the case. You could add some type of 5.25 or 3.50 front I/O panel like something from www.frontx.com.

If you read the reviews you will see this no front USB
Brilliant Case!! With Bad Points
rating:
customer rating

review by:
joe bell

os: Windows XP

This is a great buy at £39.12
GOOD POINTS
Quick Delivery
Nice Looking
Cheaper Than All UK Competitors
Plenty Of Screws

BAD POINTS
Gold Screws
Some holes dont match up
no front USB

I would have prefered silver screws but gold are ok. Also i got sent two bottom pieces and no top, but luckily i didnt mind as i prefer the look of the bottom side.
Overall Brilliant Case with a few minor bad things.
BUY IT!!
5/5

Why not buy a usb hub , and mount it inside the case , with a cut out at the bottom, so its nice and flush ??
