USB Panel mount connectors?
heffe2001:
With the sorry state of affairs of Electronics stores here in my area, I'd have to order the darn female connector anyway, and at that point it'd end up costing about as much as the pre-made panel mounted jacks. There was a time tho that I would have not thought twice about a piece of breadboard, some solder & a setup like that. Guess I'm just getting old and lazy :).

Ha! I happenned to have those female USB ends lying around anyway. That USB port in the earlier thread was done quickly after I'd had a Eureka! moment.
Here I've refined the art a little! In this admin panel, I took the PCB holding the front USB ports and phono ports from the front of the PC itself, and remounted them behind the panel.
I had to extend the wires back to the motherboard, where they are connected with original plugs. I also ran the sound signal through a log pot to give volume control. Finally, I attached an extra phono plug (that I pulled off an old PC speaker amp) at the back so that I could plug in my arcade cabinet's amplifier, or another if desired!
This cabinet is currently for sale on Australian ebay! Search for "Betelgeuse Arcade Classics"
