USB plate for these ports
<< < (2/2)
GregorDV:
If you want to invest a little more for a nice professional look, or are a total menace with a Dremel tool (I won't go into which one applies to me), you can mount a standard network faceplate and snap in some USB jacks.

A quick google for 'usb keystone' gives a bunch of nice options like this:

I'm thinking this is just right for some converted Dreamcast and Atari joysticks.

Barracuda,

Nice idea with the faceplate, never thought of that.
It also allows you to paint what ever color you need to match your cab.
I have a tool called a "nibbler" that I got at Radio Shack.
It kinda looks like pliers and 'nibbles' a small square out of metal.
You need a hole drilled first and it takes some time, but cuts a nice clean edge.

BobbyG66,
   Is this what your talking about?

  I wish I had one of those before I made my plate.  I might go buy one and do it all over with a metal faceplate instead of the plastic one I have.

It looks similar to the one I'm using from http://www.datapro.net/..
