Front panel connectors

PandaZ3 · Aug 13, 2006, 02:45 AM

I would like all Motherboard makers to embrace a version of ASUS Q-Connector. This is a small device, a little smaller than the connector on a floppy cable, that when installed, appears to be a riser for the front panel connections. It detaches from the board with the pins sticking out one side just like they do on the motherboard, and the other side has matching pin sockets. So it has pins and labels that allow you to easily connect your front panel connectors to the little riser, and then connect the whole bunch to the board. Easier to see, easier to manipulate. Front panel connectors can be a pain, but this really is helpful.

I read about this... I'd LOVE one. It'd cut about 10 mins off of my cleaning process if I tear apart my whole system (30 seconds to connect them, 9:30 to find the manual

)
