    Ok..
    My thought is to install a USB hub inside the unit where the OPTICAL drive should be.

    I'm planning on disconnecting the rear USB port and soldering a USB "dongle" to the connections on the board and running that to the optical bay for the hub to connect to.

    In case I need extra POWER, and I should... Where can I tap 5V off of?

    *NOTE*
    Does anyone know how/if/where I can have an extra internal USB port in the 30?
