[AT] OT- Adding USB ports

[msm10301 at juno.com]

Thanks for the input, that's exactly what I did. I had wanted to order some things from TigerDirect anyway, so I added a device that fits into an empty bay in front of my computer. I was getting tired of crawling around under the desk.

this-since you have some ports you may have a motherboard that includes 
additional ports on the mboard. Check (use tech book from mboard 
manufacturer) to see if any more USB ports available and if there are go 
get a add-on device that will go into a 3.5 floppy drive bay and add the 
ports. If not then buy the add-on card that installs into a PCI 
interface on the mboard and  attach a cable from the new ports in the 
back to the top or front of the case giving you access  at the front. I 
prefer the floppy drive  bay add-on as it give  front access without a 
cable from the back.
