Hey, I'm planning to build off an old IBM machine, the Aptiva from the late 90's or early 2000's. I have most of the build planned out, but I'm still looking for a front I/O panel that will fit in a standard 5.25" drive bay. I'm looking for a card reader, USB 3.0 and 2.0 hub, and front audio combined device, I'm currently looking at the kingwin fpx 004, but I don't need or want a fan controller. If anybody has any comments or suggestions about either a panel that would work or the build itself, I'm open to hear it! Thanks in advance!!
New update!! Things have started moving a bit more slowly and unfortunately it's looking like this project may not be complete until October. I have done some modifications to the parts list however in the interest of improving performance and cost effectiveness. Additionally surprisingly I have successfully run the old components and all but the HDD work well. I may wind up selling them so stay tuned!
