This USB 3.0 Front Panel Kit can be installed into a free 3.5 bay of your computer and can be connected internally by using the included PCI Express card. Installing PCI Express cards is easy, simply unscrew and remove your computer's main body case cover. On your PC's motherboard near the rear of the computer you'll see some slots. Then you just plug it in there and take a screw driver to secure it to the back. It expands your system by two USB 3.0 ports which are also downwards compatible to USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. You can connect different USB devices like Docking Station, Card Reader, external enclosure etc.
If your computer motherboard supports USB 3.0, just take a look at the two usb 3.0 front panels below(without PCI-e Card):

Great product Saturday 18 June, 2011 By Marc Verdoodt
The leads should be longer.Besides that a very good product.No install problems at all.
A good product Monday 25 April, 2011 By David Tice
Plug-n-Play in Win7 Ultimate x64. The Windows drivers installed, and it was good to go. A noticeable increase in USB 2.0 speed as well.
The leads are a little short to go diagonally across an ATX mainboard, or perhaps an extremely long case. But a very easy install in my mid-size.
