You can purchase a USB 2.0 internal 5 pin male (single row) to USB type A male adapter cable for Water 3.0 Extreme. Then connect it to outside/rear USB port. Or get a USB 2.0 controller card with 9 pin internal header.

Thank you, Tack ! Yes, what I see with the X9 is endless possibilities :-) With some quite good USB 3.0 drives out there, I feel I can live without the 5.25" cages. Do you have a build log or something for your X9 ? I'd be very interested to see what you have done regarding fans and radiators/cooling ! I'll be sure to have a look at that new case. The Level 20 XT look a little bit more "modern" than the X9. Not that I need unlimited ammounts of bling, but SOME would be nice. And as long as it can take an EATX mobo, I'm interested. And it has USB 3.1 TypeC, too... I'm in no terrible hurry...still have some bits and pieces to collect, so not ready to build yet.
