I check the front io port from Xproto and it probably won't work with the USB 2 to 3 adapters I mentioned. The front panel provides two USB 3.0 ports and cannot be powered properly with USB 2 to 3 adapter. For type-c, you need to find an adapter to turn USB 3.0 port on the linkup to type-c port, then figure out a way to fix it to wherever you want.... Something like this listed below. Now, we are talking quite a few adapters to make type-c happen....\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B083FRW542/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_VWA7QV35R0TYWP92F6XZ","subreddit_name":"sffpc","author":"lutz890"},{"body":"And is this [this](https://www.amazon.com/-/es/dp/B083FRW542/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_es_US=ÅMÅŽÕÑ\u0026amp;dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=USB%2BC%2Bto%2Btype%2BE\u0026amp;qid=1620184457\u0026amp;sr=8-4\u0026amp;th=1) for example compatible? as it says gen 2 cable and my mobo is a gen 1?","subreddit_name":"buildapc","author":"Blakcen"},{"body":"Unless... \r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/MZHOU-Extension-Internal-Adapter-Screw-57/dp/B083FRW542/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/139-0577961-9642019?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;pd_rd_i=B083FRW542\u0026amp;pd_rd_r=8740e20a-b769-409e-ac62-df75f548d5a1\u0026amp;pd_rd_w=kuJ1O\u0026amp;pd_rd_wg=emFgR\u0026amp;pf_rd_p=f325d01c-4658-4593-be83-3e12ca663f0e\u0026amp;pf_rd_r=3RSTW3VVX05SRVY4GKKX\u0026amp;psc=1\u0026amp;refRID=3RSTW3VVX05SRVY4GKKX\r\n\r\nThat way could you leave the front panel unmolested, desolder a Firewire port and hot glue that in place.

Lian Li has one [here](https://www.lian-li.com/lancool-ii-4x/). It looks to be sold out everywhere though. I found a few that look similar like [this](https://www.amazon.com/MZHOU-Extension-Internal-Adapter-Screw-57/dp/B083FRW542) but have no idea if they would work/fit or not.
