NZXT 500 - Magnetic Front Panel IO Box

thingiverse

This little box allows you to remove the front panel IO from the NZXT 500 Series computer case, and put it inside of a little magnetic box you can then stick anywhere on the front of the computer.I figured I would share this just in case there is anyone else who had a similar need as I did.While this was designed for the NZXT 500i Model of Case, its possible it might work with the 700 series as well. But no garuntees.I found that when I got my new graphics card, that it was simply to big to fit both it and my radiator. But, I found a simple solution that involved me moving the fans to the other side of the radiator plate. This constricted the airflow a bit more but allowed them both to fit with one small problem. The wires of the front panel IO board was now jammed into the fans. In fact I couldn't even really install it.So, I disconnected the front panel IO. And rather than finding some way to go without, I decided to just put it in a little box. And thankfully, since the case is metal, I could attach some magnets to it and let it stick anywhere on the front of the case.
