This is the I/O plate that I have just received from Corsair, it has all the wiring for all the power/reset, LEDs, Audio and USB ports already wired up and labelled.I have modelled a frame which it will screw into behind the front Acrylic panel. The frame also contains spring buttons to activate the power/reset switches.The cost for this I/O panel is £10 and the 3D printed frame with buttons is coming in at about £6. But the case will no longer require the vandall switch (which costs around £4 + custom wiring), as a bonus I will not have to do any custom wiring so it will save on assembly time.The overall cost increase would be £12. The I/O plate will be located in the same position as the current Vandall switch, or alternatively the I/O plate could be located in that same corner but on the side of the computer, but this would push the side intake fan towards the rear of the enclosure which may affect airflow performance.I will try and post some pictures of the CAD later today.
