Do USB 3.1 Front Panel & 5.25 Optical Cases Exist?

this is the only case that supports it currently, DONT buy it (unless ur rich :P)

I don't think the side of the case will close due to the control knob on the front base.

There are no cases with USB 3.1 Gen.2 front I/O connectivity with 5.25" bays (except the Phanteks Enthoo Elite case).

 

What do you plan on using the USB 3.1 Gen.2 connectivity for?

 Only way I see it worth spending that much on the computer case. You would have to buy the top of the line X 99 CPU that cost $1700! And when you live on disability that just is not possible. Although I do like that it with a rodie shipping case. But even that has its downfalls. Think about it, You got a put that box somewhere. It's not the type of back to just throw away.

Coolermaster Master case Maker 5 and In Win 805 are the other two cases that USB 3.1 type C headers HOWEVER ALL OF THESE ARE STILL AT 3.0 SPEEDS, no case has been released yet with 3.1 headers (Though Phanteks has said they will ship free upgrades)

 

On an unreleased note, this is my 500th post so I'm gonna go change  my title.

Maybe you can look for cases with two 5.25" bays and then for a front bay panel with the connectivity needed. Something like that or that. Not the sexiest solution but that's what front case doors are for.

 

Or maybe just wait if you don't absolutely need it right away. You're not the only one bothered by this and the industry will adapt.

Well let's change things up then any one know a good viertical gpu case like the deepcool genome ii without riser cable issues by chance? Be nice to have a sli option too. Doesn't thermaltake make a case like that???

You're probably thinking of this. Not sli. They do have this open air case though.

I think I figured out what case I am going to go for. It is The Tower 900 Snow Edition E-ATX Vertical Super Tower Chassis by Thermaltake.  The features don't all have what I want,  but for some of the features like the tempered glass and the four USB 3.0 the cost of $249.99 is not bad at all.
