come off it.


but seriously - i also would like to know - why have a USB INSIDE the case where it is not easily accessible?

Hi All,

I bought a USB card for this PC that has four external rear ports, two internal ports and one internal USB header port.

External ones are for printers or whatever, the header port is generally used by internal memory card readers (which mine is used for) and the internal normal USB ports (which I'm not using on mine at present) could be used for say if you had a bluetooth dongle that you wanted to leave plugged in all the time, but it would be in the way using one of the external ports!

You could also use that for a USB wireless dongle or possibly a USB memory stick, if you wanted to leave one plugged in semi-permenantly. Some internal memory card readers do also use normal USB ports to connect them into the system, rather than USB header ports.

Cheers

Steve

So internal usb ports can be used for bluetooth and wireless dongles? I have a cunning plan.
