Hi,
I am going to be purchasing the Zalman Z11 Plus case. It has two USB 3.0 ports built into the case and two USB 2.0 ports. The 2.0's are ones that plug into the motherboard, however the 3.0's are ones that you need to just route round the back of the PC and plug into the USB slots there (basically an extension). Would there be a way for me to remove that and replace it with a usb header to fit into the same slots and go into the motherboard?
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
Thats a great case. Did a build once for a mate in that! You can use an adapter to use the onboard header. Its not all that uncommon, most stores have em in stock. Just do a little bit of searching;)
It does ad a bit of wires because to usb3.0 cables are long enough to be routed to the back but you can tidy it away no problems

I know, I'm watercooling it so the fans are not completely required but I'm going to get a fan controller for the rad and can just put controllers on the case ones and turn them off so I get the light. That's fine though because it seems like theres loads of cable room. Thanks!
