I have Asus H97-PRO GAMER ATX LGA1150 Motherboard on my desktop. It has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master Elite 311 (Blue) ATX Mid Tower Case I have does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports. What can I do to use the usb 3.0 port?

My Cooler Master Sniper case didn't come with USB 3.0, either... and I didn't want to have to reach around behind my computer to use the 3.0 plug... so I simply ordered a 3.5" Multi Card Reader that had a USB 3.0 port on front... The card reader comes with a cable that plugs into the 3.0 Header on the motherboard.

Another option would be to install a 3.5" or 5.25" into one of your drive slots up front that has USB 3.0 ports on front...
