Where can I get a replacement OEM front panel for my azza hurrican 2000 case? My case came with a usb 3.0 front panel port, but it does not plug into my motherboard header. Instead it plugs into the rear of the motherboard. Recently the usb 3.0 port failed. I would like to upgrade the front panel pcb board to one where the usb port plugs into my motherboard's usb 3.0 header. Azza sells the replacement item for $40.00. Is that reasonable? Can I get it elsewhere for less?

Thanks for your help.

for half that price or less you could get a pci card to give you additional usb 3 ports for the back of your case.

also for about half the price you could get a front panel device with usb ports provided you have a usb header.

for about a third of the price you could get a usb 3 motherboard header to 2x usb 3.0 female plug adapter which would allow you to plug that usb cable directly into the motherboard. this would be the cheapest fix.
