What to do with the USBC on my motherboard

I know the versatility of the USB C is quite amazing however I have a port on my motherboard doing nothing and I want to utilise it.

I would like a USB hub however all the ones I have seen seem to be tailored towards laptop use and so the cable are only a couple of inches long.  Are there any useful hubs with longer cables so it can reach my computer on the floor to the desk, or can USB-C extension cables will have to be used?

Cheers.

I use my USB C to charge my phone, with a type C to type C cable. Pretty neat for the time being, and I'll be pleased when type c sees more adoption when I'm very used to using it.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Very useful !

Are there any with a long cable that will reach my computer on the floor to put the hub on the desk?  That's the issue Im having, they all have very short wires.
