On my shop box the shitty case (but one I have to use because it has two easy to insertable physical sata bays on top) for 2.5 and 3.5
The USB 3.0 case on top is a literal USB extension cable to a 3.0 port on the back (was made many years ago)
So I got a 5.25 front panel with 4x USB 3.0 ports because the motherboard has 2x 3.0 headers (four ports total). Soo I tried to plug them in and it didn't go. It bent some pins. I was straightening them out with a dental pick when suddenly the computer turned on when I shorted two of the pins. Didn't think much of it and switched the power off
I took a sewing needle and made the holes on the plugs bigger, it then fit in after
Aaaand suddenly none of the ports worked after I turned it on. Must have been a power to data short.
Luckily it has an ASMedia chip for the USB-C and one USB-A 3.0 ports. I was able to get into windows and The USB xhci driver in windows said code 10, failed. Can't get into bios without hooking it to the Asmedia 3.0 port.
Soooo now I'm going to have to get a PCI-E card with headers and ports (perhaps two) and possibly a hub for the USB-C in the back. God damn that little $17 panel cost me big. But it is my fault. I rarely ever have a non-power header short that causes a turn on. This is actually the second time I've ever had a non power header short turn it on, but the other one was putting a PCI card in and it didn't damage anything
