Hi all,
I need a few advice on the following,
1. I want to install a card reader hub. Please advice on any good quality card reader which can be installed into one of the front bays of the cabinet. I saw one in ITDepot but it doesn't have CF card reader and CF card reader is important for me. Also the company is Sedna and I've no idea how are the products from this company.
2. My Motherboard doesn't have USB 3.0 internal header and so the front USB 3.0 ports are lying unused (Cabinet - CM Storm Enforcer and it has a USB 3.0 connector). Is there any way I can connect the USB 3.0 ports to the motherboard? I saw some PCI connector/converter for USB 3.0, does these things work like a normal USB 3.0 header? Any suggestion here?
Also if the PCI connector part is too costly then is there any way I can use the USB 2.0 headers on the mobo to connect the 3.0 ports as 2.0?
3. The top part of the cabinet has place for installing fans and so it's open. Is there any way to cover it? Some kind of dust guard? I'm thinking about cutting some plastic net and placing over it. Is it a good idea? Or should I just install a cooling fan itself? It has space for 2 120mm fan or 1 200mm fan. AFAIK the current setup of fans are with positive pressure. So if I install another fan as exhaust then will it become negative pressure? As for my usage I don't see much use of another fan as the sytem is not running hot anyway.
Regards,
 
 
^. I don't think so but please look around & you may be able to find it.. Otherwise you can get it from DX. They are pretty legitimate site & deliver in India...
 
I've never dealt with dealextreme, so would like to know how safe are they and how reliable? I guess many people here might've ordered stuff from them, so please advice.
 
I regularly order from them. They are all right, they use EMS to send stuff hence delivery locally is handled by India Post. Unless India Post goofs up you are all right. They accept all international Credit Cards.

Also they now offer an option on everything to be sent as GIFT. Hence you get duty free goods for upto orders worth Rs. 10,000/- :ohyeah:

I mostly shop for computer accessories & simple electronics only..

so DX ships to India for free but are there any extra charges like customs duty etc.

They are reliable but sometimes it takes more than 45 days for them to deliver. I have friends who got their stuff in 12 days, some got in 30 days, i never got mine lol but a 5 min chat session with their rep ended in a quick refund within a day. So even if you don't get the stuff you'll get a refund. Go ahead with it.
