last reasonable priced suggestion

Fractal Node 804

Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboard compatibility
8x 3.5" HDD positions + 2x 2.5" SSD position
Highly effective dual chamber case layout for best possible cooling
Minimalistic design with an elegant brushed aluminum front panel
Removable dust filters providing a dust-free interior
Featuring a window side panel to show off your set up in style
Additional space in the front to mount a slim optical bay drive and 2 x 2.5″ drives

yup, connect directly to the mainboard for the front usb.
as it is a two chamber design, one side can show case your board/gpu/aio/ram, the other side will be where you dump all your wiring, easiest wire management ever...haha

Only if your mainboard has the corresponding USB 3.0 header lor.

But u can also connect the casing USB 3.0 connector via a converter, into a USB 2.0 header and operate at USB 2.0 speeds.

It will be an entire new system so the mainboard will have the header. I not sure if you aware but the old 650D from corsair had no usb head for the 3.0 front ports. It was supposed to be pulled to the back and plugged into your mainboard's usb 3.0 port at the back. :s22:

I see... indeed that doesn't seem like an elegant solution. :o

I hate this one also, using this method, got big awful thick cable I cannot hide.

the USB 3.0 cable coming from the I/O port itself is just as thick anyway, you just have the additional connector to hide, not the additional thickness of the cable. alternatively, you can mod your current front I/O port cabling as per below link, and save on additional connectors to hide.
