Covered Jack

I have been looking for this type of USB jack for my CP as well.

Markertek sells the switchcraft USB panel mount jacks listed above, as well as some similar ones by neutrik that seem to be a better deal. 

Both are available in silver and black.

Here is a link.

You may also find Mouser Electronics useful for procuring parts such as this.  They have no minimum order (unlike Digi-key, who will nail you with an extra $5 if you don't buy $25 worth of stuff), have cheaper shipping (at least to my area), and competitive pricing.

They'll also help you out with really tiny orders over the phone if you're not sure exactly what you need (I just bought $7 worth of connectors for my Kortek monitor from them and had a tech on the phone finding mating parts for me). [As a reference, the Kortek/Betson multisync "VGA" connector on the chassis board is a 2.5mm 6 pin Molex SPOX connector - took me a while to figure that out] The only downside is that their stock is not as big as Digi-key, so they may not have exactly what you want.

There's also Arrow Electronics if you really can't find what you want, but they don't enjoy catering to small orders (I usually go pick mine up in person since they're in Indianapolis).  They distribute for a huge array of manufacturers.

I ended up using markertek:

The USB jacks worked out great, BTW.  Nice to be able to quickly plug in the gamepads to the arcade cabinet for some N64 Mario Kart, and then easily unplug and stow them away when not needed.
