5 out of 5 stars older computer towers can get frontside usb access!.......2003-01-16

I have a Dell Dimension 4100 that I bought 6 months before Dell began installing frontside usb ports. The installation was very easy, provided that you are comfortable inside of a computer. The unit fits into a 3.5 inch drive bay and the holes are pre- drilled to secure the hub into place. The power cable in my system is a ribbon that goes to my two cd drives, the a drive and the hard drive. That plugs in to the back of the Startech hub. The internal usb cable that is supplied with it is long enough to run through a pci slot cover to the back of the cpu to hook into a usb port on the back of your computer (all older cpu's have 2 ports). I have a Belkin 4-port usb hub in one of my pci slots and that hub has 1 internal usb port that I hook the Startech hub into. So between the Startech and Belkin hubs and the two usb ports that were on my system, I have cornered the usb market with TEN usb ports. If you want to see the installation manual (which I highly recommend) go to the startech.com website, navigate to the usb components section and then find item # ST3504USB and download the manual in pdf format.
