Official MiSTer Case for USB Bracket (EU)

Unread post by enigmo »

Does anyone know of anywhere in Europe selling the version of the official case supporting the USB bracket rather than bridge? Ultimatemister.com does do the case but I don't need the USB hub as I already have one.

Edit:
Seems not all official USB hubs are identical. misterfpga.co.uk usb hubs look similar to misteraddons.com hubs, but both are a slightly different design to ultimatemister.com hubs. Not a criticism, just an observation! Still learning the quirks here

there are also differences in how these hubs are powered, which deferred me from buying case from https://ultimatemister.com for usb hub from https://misterfpga.co.uk

Yes, we use internal power, avoiding external splitter cables. Also lower profile.

@rickdangerous I do have a case from you and he idea with internal power supply from the MISTER barrel bracket down to the USB board is ingenious.

However I struggle with the upper body part.

I can see three are LEDs in the top that are soldered to some pads correctly. But I cannot see any connection for the LEDs going to the IO HUB?

So is it supposed to get connected and if so, how?
Or is it just to hold the LEDs in place, and as they are transparent to use the LEDs below?

Thanks for feedback.
