Well was looking for a new case as I so happy with the Full Tower option as I prefer this over a Mid Tower . The Obsidian 1000D now that is just way to big but I love the glass look of this case and the Obsidian 500D is a Mid Tower Would you do a full tower version of this to replace the 750D as my 780T has no USB C support and I don't think you will be replacing this and no cover to cover the powersupply.

I was a bit perturbed when I received the 570x kit today. Why would they make the usb C port 3.1 and leave the normal port a 3.0? Why make me use both the 3.0 and 3.1 headers on my mother board when both ports could have been 3.1? I bought this kit hoping to free up my 3.0 header...

Hi all,

 

We're pleased to announce that we'll have USB 3.1 Type-C upgrade kits available for the immensely popular Crystal Series 570X and Obsidian Series 750D very soon!

 

These kits add a USB 3.1 Type-C port on your chassis' front I/O and plug into the USB 3.1 Type-C motherboard front panel header that have started to appear on some motherboards.

Both kits are priced at USD $19.99 and will be available on our webstore.

does the 570 X version have attached IO panel? Anyone have a picture of such? With the panel attached to the wires?

I have a Carbide Spec-1 and I solved the problem with a low cost front panel box with more USB ports and one type C version

 

as a bonus the box also has flash card readers so i can read any memory card

Is the carbide 275R going to get the USB 3.1 Type C I/O Panel Upgrade Kit?

 

low cost front panel boxes for any occasion are very low cost on ebay

 

my box has a type c on it and 3 type along with a card reader above the usb ports

 

as type c expands i can always get a new or secondary from panel box

I have a Corsair 750D case, and I see that the USB-C front I/O panel is out of stock on the US Corsair site:

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/Obsidian-Series-750D-USB-3-1-Type-C-I-O-Panel-Upgrade-Kit/p/CC-8900138

It seems to be available on the UK and EU sites, though the site will only allow shipping to the UK / Europe:

It seems available in some other countries too, but the site only allows shipping to those countries. Where can I buy one in the US?

I just bought 3 750D Cases. One is an Airflow the other 2 are the regular 750D ones. I am looking for 3 of these replacement I/O Units. Corsair are you still selling these and if so will they be in stock anytime soon. If not where can I source these at?

AFAIK I am speculating that they are discontinued. Corsair would do well with a USB-C version to cope with the USB 4.0 which is now excepted with some AM5 motherboards.
