USB ports question
Hi, I'm thinking of buying a lian-li pc-60 case to replace the one my pc came with back in 2001. However I noticed that the usb ports on the front of the case are usb 2.0... question is will I be able to use them on a motherboard that only has usb 1.1? It'd be a shame if I couldn't use em... are they backwards compatible by any chance? (i.e I could connect them to the mobo but they'd only run at 1.1 speed).
Any info would be appreciated

yes, there shouldn't be any problems as I have used a USB1.1 backpane on my asus usb1.1 header.
