I don't think it's an often enough occurence (buying a complete front I/O) that people can recommend with confidence which one is atleast up to spec.

But atleast Lian Li is very well known brand

Several case manufacturers offer i/o front panel replacement parts.

I can't recommend any one in particular, but if you want one that fit's in a 3.5 or 5.25 inch bay, there are lots available.

go by the reviews and price.

I'm also interested in this. So far I discovered most of the I/O bay panels are made in China and sold with a markup.

If I search all those you can find on Amazon by image, I find them on aliexpress at less than half the price. For example

It's about 15 bucks in my currency. But if I look for retailers in my country, it costs more like 40 bucks. ^^

That one in the link has ok USB-C specs and has 2 dedicated connectors (19pins for regular USB and the type E one that is only for USB-C connectors on the mobo).

Can't vouch for the quality though. I think I'll take this one next month.

Found another 5.25" bay one with more ports:

Thanks everyone.  Looks like best option is one designed for a bay and separate power and reboot buttons.
