hey, i just purchased an antec case and it has two USB ports on the front. It dosent say whether they are USB 1 or 2. My motherboard has two USB2 ports. Can i still use the usb ports on my case?

Well the pin configuration is the same so you can connect it. IIRC the only difference between USB1 and 2 cables is that USB 2 is always shielded... but inside your case over a short distance that will not matter.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dimms when I turn it on :eek:
