I am building a new computer reusing a Corsair Air 540 case. The motherboard has dual USB3.1Gen2 headers for the front of the case... but this case doesn't have that! I'm looking for a 5.25" front panel insert that has USB3.1Gen2 (USB-C preferred) and, perhaps if possible, a multimedia option (SD card reader?) 
Have y'all seen anything like this out there or could you point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!

While that's not TRUE 3.1 USB C (see below), it'll work.

Adapters do exist tho.

Thanks for the responses! The BLUEXIN adapter mentioned above loks like the ticket... but it's plain USB3, not Gen 2. The other single adapter looks good except I'm not thrilled with the idea of drilling a hole to mount that USB-C part. Basically, I'm looking for 1) convenience! The mobo had the 3.1Gen2 port on the back and that's a pain to use. and 2) if I had a media card reader in the case, I wouldn't be "missing" my portable one as much as I have been. (My son "borrows" them and then can't find them. I think he's fencing my card readers on the black market.)

 

I'll keep looking and I hope y'all do as well!
