Front-panel media hub for 5.25-inch bays

This LORDWORLD dashboard fits a standard 5.25-inch optical drive bay and adds front-access connectivity. It targets system builders who want card-reader, USB and e-SATA ports at the front of a desktop chassis without opening the case.

Steel fascia with 20-pin internal header

The unit mounts flush behind the front panel and connects to the motherboard through a 20-pin header. External ports include USB 2.0, USB 3.0, e-SATA and SATA, letting users plug in flash drives, memory cards or external drives while the system runs.

No extra cables or software required

The package supplies only the dashboard itself; all data and power links use standard motherboard headers already present in most ATX builds. Drivers are provided by the operating system, so the ports become active immediately after installation.
