I am very new to pc building and have decided to build my own. I like the look of the thermaltake chaser mki. It says it has 2 usb 3.0 slots soooo.......will I need a motherboard that supports that? Or anything else? Thanks.

Most of the newer motherboards have both usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports and headers that are labeled so you'll be okay. Just remember the 3.0 cables are black with a white stripe and that 3.0 is backwards compatible meaning you can plug a usb 2.0 into a usb 3.0 and it will still work.

Okay, thanks, sounds like it should be pretty easy then.
