Maximum PC

I was wondering if there are any plans to review different options for getting USB 3.0 on the front side of the computer. I see that there are a few pci cards that connect to a panel for a drive bay which would eliminate using up the connections on the back of my mobo:

and

Are these any decent?

I like the front panel option , it has two ports verses one on the other adapter.

Asus boards seem to have headers for USB3.0, and then it's up to the cases to support it; which is more important actually. You can get this card, but you still hook it up to a USB2.0 board on the case's front panel. These cases are rare still it seems. I just happened to like this one Lian Li (PC-9F) and it just happened to have USB3.0 available on the front panel. Other than that, I'm thinking it's down to no more than 5 cases as a whole.

However, the bay device is an option as you've seen. We have spare bays I suppose; but did we update to eS/ATA with an add-on card and a bay device for the long term? I'd rather have USB3.0 virgin on both the board and the case. Just my opinion. Heck, I have USB3.0 on another computer and still don't have something to hook up to it.

The first card from SIIG also has a front bay panel (newegg doesn't show it in the first picture), but it seems that it splits the four USB ports in the front from one connection in the card. Wouldn't that split the bandwidth? (completely hypothetical question considering that I don't own any USB 3.0 devices yet)
