i/o upgrades in existing case?

JForce

I have a very old gaming rig, and whilst I can't afford an upgrade at the moment, I might be forced to as it's intermittently shitting itself/making me want to cry.  Figuring out the upgraded components seems pretty straight forward at present (yay for competition), but I would rather not upgrade my case, as it's a solid, roomy old Antec, and I'd rather not spend the money if I don't have to.

 

One question however relates to USB 3/type C - obviously my case's front USB ports are old spec, and so even plugging into USB3 I don't think they'd provide USB3 connectivity (does the end connection matter or is it just pass through/physical?), and there's no type-C.  Beyond swapping out the case, is there anything available to make typeC/USB3 more available than just on the rear i/o of any new mb? Some kind of expansion/extension card I could hot-glue to the front or something? Anyone else had any experience here and come up with a good workaround?
