if anyone is looking for a (fairly) easy mod to do and they have a motherboard with pci-slot mounted usb ports or gameport or whatever try mounting them to the front of your case.
i decided the easiest way to do this would be to mount them in a 3 1/2 drive bay, so here it is!

i used the pci slot as a template and cut out the inside with a dremel and a utility knife. i used a small drill bit to make holes for screws so that the screws actually screw into the plate then into the adaptors.

That's a damn fine idea. I've got entirely too many USB 2.0 ports sitting on a PCI slot buried on the back of my machine. I'll have to consider that...
