    I am searching for a new case for my peg2.
    I have a Aopen g325 now ,but it is worn out and never actually liked it.
    What it should have is a cardreader build in and several usb ports on the front.
    Room for a dvd drive offcourse and like to keep it small so thinking about a desktop model.

    Any tips?

    Rather than that, you could buy one with front panel 3.5", there you can install any suitable card reader. I liked how my Antec Aria case came with built-it card reader... Until SDHC came around, and it wasn't compatible. Separate card reader I could have changed, but not that.

    Keep in mind that most cases with several USB ports simply have several cables to connect to the motherboard - which is generally a no-go with Pegasos 2. There MIGHT be some compatible USB2 cards, which instead of / in addition to back panel connectors would have several usb header connectors, or internal USB hubs, that allow "splitting" the one your card might have...

    Many NEC USB 2.0 cards have an internal connector, but its a Standard USB socket not a pin header, so you need a card reader with a standard USB connector (not a header connector).
